Hey everybody in Colorado, its Josh. Just going to tell you guys what happened on our first day of working on the job site. This morning around 7 a.m. in Kentucky time that would be 5 o’clock Denver time, we got up and went to breakfast and had one of the churches did the morning devotion for everybody. After breakfast we got ready to go to the job site in our vans. When we got there from our 40 minute drive, we all piled out and got the supplies out of the foreman’s vehicle and got to work on putting up the supports for the frame of the house, with tedious shoveling with the posthole diggers. With the post in the holes we got the floor joists into to place and were ready to get the floor boards down, when we notice that our frame was not squared. So we had to break the frame down and had to START ALL OVER!!!!!!! So we measured and re-measured like 12 times, dug more holes and fixed all the postholes and put the posts down a SECOND time - got the floor joists down again, when we found out that the floor boards are STILL not squared yet again, but by that time it was time to leave the job site and have dinner. After dinner we all went to the craft store and bought crafts that were made by the people who live in the area of Red Bird Mission Center.
Now at 10:00; Alex, Nick, Ari, Aysha, John, Andrew, John, Jessica and I are going to play a “nice” little game of cards until we have to go to bed. So good night Colorado and you will find out what happens next tomorrow.
Note from Pat: The internet connection is very weak and flaky here - so if we don't get a post in, that is why. Hopefully I'll be able to load up more pictures...
