Monday - Much progress even through the rain

Another very productive day - despite the weather. These guys just continue to amaze me - they work in the rain and cold without complaining! We are praising the Lord for His kindness to us through the hands and feet of these dear friends. We are truly blessed.

Three new guys were added today. Travis, Galen (Leon's brother) and Matt ( works for Leon). You may recognize Trav as Momma Roar's husband


John and Travis


Galen - always smiling


Couldn't resist

PLEASE NOTE - The next few shots are from yesterday when the sky was blue!!!

Gary - spends most of the day ON TOP of the wall. Handles 2x12x16 joists single-handedly while.on.top.of.the.wall!! Amazing.


The other consistent wall-walker. Other guys go up there, too, but primarily Troy is up there the whole day, too. Again - amazing!


See? It makes for some cool shots, though.

And now back to today ...

Mucky, sloppy, mud


The look on Leon's face (as well as the mud on Lilly's backside) pretty much says it all ...


Well into the progress today. Walls up, front stairwell first floor finished.


Setting the LVL support beam.


Interior wall framed.


View from back.


More progress.


At the end of day 2 - they're still smiling :)

They ended the day with two stories on the front entryway/stairwell, second floor finished and floor joists almost completed. I just can't say enough about how hard these guys work and what a privilege it is for us to have them here.

We are so thankful for all of your prayers and support. The weather forecast now has sunny and warm for the rest of the week - Praise the Lord!

Thanks for checking in and good night.

  1. I'm glad he's pulling his weight! heehee

    Seriously, it amazes me how much they accomplish in one day.

    He told me of your walk! :D

    I know things are moving the fastest now, and I hope it isn't hard when they leave and things slow down. But hopefully soon, you'll have a new place to move in to!!
