Day 3

Today was day 3 of our build. We all were a little more tired than the 1st day and a little more sore as well. The soreness did nothing to hamper the pride in what we had accomplished in just 3 days. We are actually 1 full day ahead of schedule!! One house is almost done. The roof is up and all that is left to do is to plaster the walls. One room in that house was almost completely done by the time we left. Which means just two rooms left to plaster and then the floors can be poured. This quick plastering of the outside of the structure and inside is due to the hard work of Jordan, Kristen, Regina, Tana, Douglas and Deborah.

Today Deborah and Kristen were tasked with the duty of painting the 2x4's with a tar-like substance. They painted over 100 2x4's.

Mitch is a working machine he has carried more bricks weighing more than 40 pounds each for the past 3 days. What was that that the Nutty Professor's mother said...Oh yeah...Hercules Hercules Hercules. Here he shows the effects of all that hard work.

We shared lunch with the artisans today. It was a lot of fun and we have been learning alot about them and them us. Grrrrrrrr I have a picture of them eating Pixy Sticks for the 1st time. However, the hotel is telling me that the service provider is having problems so the connection is extremely slow. (Haven't you heard that one before. Translation that really means...I haven't a clue what's wrong and I'm not coming over to the computer to figure it out!) Douglas had to show some of them how to eat them. They were trying to suck on the straw. Just like we all probably did when we had our 1st experience with a Pixy Stick.
