We didn't waste anytime getting started this morning. We usually get up in the bush after 8:30 a.m. but this morning we were heading up there by 8:00 a.m. I {Jen} woke up before 5 a.m. and couldn't get back to sleep so I got up and spent a nice quite morning with the Lord. So I was up and ready to go!
Garrett and Jake got busy digging a trench around our house. We will bury our plastic in it to keep the woodland critters out of our house. Bill started right in on the frame work for our seating area in our dining room...and I had to put clay on the inside of our stove so once that was done we built a fire in it. It's awesome! I will do some finish detail work on the outside over the next few days.
YEA...Fire!
Bill ran the water lines to the sink, hot water tank and the shower! I can't wait to be able to take a shower in my own place again. If you look under the counter you will see that he ran the water lines under ground and then up to the back of the stove and then up the bracing over to the shower stall.
Garrett and I got busy putting in the logs for our seat, I finally got it figured out!
The cute little girl in the picture came down to see us with her mom and 2 little brothers. She brought me a picture that she made for me, it says..."Mis Jen I love you". I loved it and made a frame for it and had her hold it so I could get a picture of her. What a sweetie!The other picture is taken at the top of the hill where 2 staff families will live and 8 families from our class, there is us and one other family down by the creek.
The boys are working together to finish up the seats and Bill and I worked on getting down some counter top. Which consists of logs, cardboard, table cloth and clear plastic. We put 4 marble tiles together on the one end so that I have a good working space for pies, pizza and bread.
Jake taking a break and watching Garrett work!
The counter top!
Our Seating area...we just need to get a table builtHere are some final pictures of the day.
We would also ask you to please pray for Peter, he is one of our teachers who fell 2 days ago while working up there and has really messed up his ankle. He and his wife are suppose to be moving up there with all of us and he has been told to stay off his feet for 1 week and then get an cast next week. Also, one of the guys in our class, Matt, was nicking some knots of a log and a chip of wood scratched his eye. Please pray for healing and relief from their pain.
