Our day at the work site started by running one of our vehicles off the edge of the driveway into a drainage narrow drainage ditch. We were backing down and just slipped right off the side. Fortunately we were most of the way down the driveway, so we emptied out the tools & lunch that were in the back of the car, left the car there for the time being and started our work day. Once everyone was busy working, Dave went back up and slowly worked the car up and out of the ditch.
I went in the crawl space today to add some supports under the floor for a new door frame. We are replacing the door at an exit that previously had an interior door. Since there had been an interior door, there had been some water damage to the floor right at the door. We removed the damaged section, which did not have any supports directly under it - this is a small 14" x 3' area - so we needed to put in supports for the new door frame.
The work day ended with a thunderstorm. Fortunately we could hear it coming long before it reached us. We were able to get everything that wasn't being actively used packed up and in the vehicles so that we were ready to make a run for it if/when the storm got to us. Sometimes in the mountains you can hear a storm on the other side of the ridge and it never comes over. This storm did come. At that point, the door we were replacing had been carried into the house and was in the process of being placed temporarily for the night so that the house was not left open. Everyone not helping with the door had finished up and made it to the cars before the deluge.

Today we had some encouraging progress with Diane, the owner of our hose that we have been working on. We finished building the deck on her house, and we almost got stuck in the road 'cause it started raining so much. We broke closer to God by helping his children in need and helping the faithful.
