Monday: First Day of Work (20 Apr 2009)

Today the "work" part of the work trip officially began!

We survived the heavy thunderstorms and warnings of tornados that rumbled through last night --- and kept the adults awake! Unfortunately, the heavy rains saturated the drain field and shut down our bathrooms; we are using the showers and bathrooms in an adjacent church building until the system dries out.

Lynne's team started our day by making us breakfast featuring scambled eggs, blueberry pancakes, fruit salad and other goodness.

We followed breakfast with our usual Circle Time of reflection, then we were off to the work site!

As you can see from our photos, a major part of the work this week will be helping Rev. Brown, the contractor set up roof trusses. Everyone gets involved, from removing the protective covers and packing straps, to moving them into position for the crane, to setting them in place and attaching stabilizers.
