Home Up Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Dedication

 

The roofers and the painters made remarkable progress on Tuesday.

The house looks good on Wednesday morning.

The roof crew in action.  L-R:  Ruth Goldthwaite (Chicago), Molupie Mofokeng (Durban), Jodi Flick (North Carolina), Ghirmay, and Joe.

While they worked on top, others crawled inside the trusses install the insulation, and framers worked below. 

Paul Eppinger working on the framing.  Don Flick and I worked all day inside.  

I set the electrical boxes in preparation for the electricians who needed to run the wire before we could drywall.

Our house leader sent me over to another house that had fallen behind where I set the electrical boxes.  The different style is apparent -- the gable ends are the front and back.

Jerry worked over there as well.

We knocked off this evening before dark.  From the back of our house, looking down the hill, we could see a couple dozen beautiful red roofs.

Dinner was served by caterers in tents at the top of the hill.  There was wide variety and it was pretty good -- chicken dishes and curries and plenty of other items.

Each evening, we had to head back without too much delay so I could ice my leg.  I tried to take time during the day to ice it, but it was hard to sit when everyone else was working.
