After day 1, we have the basement floor framed and the first floor deck completed and a fair bit of prep work for the next floor.
All I can say is that these guys are AMAZING! Even though words just cannot express our gratitude - we still want to say THANK YOU!! We are truly blessed.
Arrival of the wood last Wednesday morning.
The second load.
Eating breakfast on the house (parts).
-------------------------------------
The guys arrived and didn't waste any time getting right to work.
Moving some lumber ... a LOT of it!
Jesse was a sawing machine! He had stacks of lumber cut before you could even notice he was cutting!
John and Daryl discussing the plans.
Tom carrying more lumber.
Eric carrying 2 at once!
Hans, Troy and Gary plumbing up the support wall.
Troy and John going over the windows
Hans working on the floor joists.
Major progress
I like this shot because I caught all 10 of them in the frame at once. Believe me, as fast as they work, it is hard to snap pictures!
At the end of the day.
Good night.
Wow Shirley that is so great:O) Are these friends and family from PA?
ReplyDeleteWOW!! I wish I could have shown this to T before he left this morning (which is why I'm up at 3:50!!)
ReplyDeleteHe's eager to get down. He talked to Leon last night and was told he's needed to hand things up to the 2nd floor - WOW!!
I was thinking about you guys yesterday afternoon after Church. This labor of love is such a testimony of how the Body of Christ should work & be and what can be accomplished when it does.
ReplyDeleteALL of you are blessed!! Not just you and John but the 10 who came :o)
