The guys from Grace Baptist Church arrived around 7:30 on Friday evening.
|
|
First thing Saturday morning we were out working, cleaning up the site and making preparations.
|
Everything has to be plumb and level which requires a lot of measurements.
|
|
We also had to take down our temporary wall which was built for the hurricane.
|
A view of the wall coming down from inside.
|
|
Now the new walls can begin being built.
|
A little more demo work to remove a few obstacles.
|
|
Scott is going to be busy all day cutting wood. But, he does a good job.
|
I don't think he likes his picture being taken.
|
|
Addie works on cookies for lunch (dessert).
|
The end wall is framed and partially sided and ready to be lifted.
|
|
Now they are working on the front wall.
|
The end wall is going up and being attached to the concrete.
|
|
They have to make sure that everything is still plumb.
|
And still plumb....
|
|
All of the outside walls are in place.
|
A better view of the main outside wall with the window openings.
|
|
A better view of where the windows will go.
|
Mike made the mistake of mentioning that he installs garage doors, so he was drafted to fix ours.
|
|
Scott and Tom checking things out.
|
A good view of the inside. The window openings still need to be cut out.
|
|
Teddy Dehart is a missionary in Edinburg. He came out to bring some tools and help with construction. He made the mistake of mentioning that he works on small appliances/electronics so we had a few extra tasks for him.
|
The yard's a mess, but the building is looking better.
|
|
A view from the front.
|
Marking off the windows to be cut out later.
|
|
Teddy working on the refrigerator which broke when the last group was here.
|
Now they are working on the rafters.
|
|
More rafters/joists going up.
|
A side view.
|
|
We're done for the day. It's hot, we're tired and it's time to clean up.
