Hi Ho Hi Ho, It's off to work we go!

I am exhausted.  Our day started with breakfast at 6 am, pickup at 7, start hammering at 8:30 and the hammering continued until 3:00.  We completed 11 houses today.   The learning curve is fast.  The floor team was comprised of Sunny, Carole, Robin, Terry Ann and Pat.  They hammered down the floorboards in each of the houses.  Wall teams had the tougher work of hammering the exterior sheets of corrugated metal to the toughest, nastiest wood ever.  If there is one thing consistent about Tabitha house builds, it’s the wood.  Michele, Mike and I got a great system going so that we were able to complete three houses ourselves, taking about 2 hours to get the walls up on a house.  It’s a lovely, satisfying feeling to finish a house and put the sign up. 



Tomorrow we have 7 houses to complete and then we have the best part…the official handover ceremony.
