It was hotter than blue blazes up on the roof yesterday. The shingles burned your fingers if they sat in the sun too long. Three of us thought we were smart and decided to get on the job site early to roof before it got too hot. We forgot that the roof would be too wet to work on from the dew. Last night we beat that problem, I hope. We covered the small section we need to finish with plastic.
Minnie and her sister Lynn both got on the roof yesterday and of course the batteries on the camera decided to die before we could get a picture. While we were roofing the drywall finishers were working inside the house, so we can paint this evening.
Somehow the siding crew managed to stay in the shade on the north side of the house most of the day. I think we picked the wrong job, even though the view from the roof was great.
The front porch has steps now and the back deck is almost complete. Today the electricians will be there to finish up.
The volunteer numbers have been low for this build, but it has still been a great week. It is amazing to watch faith in action. Flatwoods Christian Church provided lunch on Tuesday and the pastor used the quote from James 2: 17 "Faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action is dead." (NIV) Habitat exemplifies faith in action and the results are visible around the world.
Thanks to Rosedale Baptist for lunch Monday, Flatwoods for lunch Tuesday and New Liberty Baptist fed us well Wednesday. I hear it will be lasagne today. How many calories a day can you work off on a Habitat build?
If I can fin the camera today, I'll post more pictures.
