Thursday Already

This week has been another whirlwind! We have all been busy, busy, busy!  After spending all of Monday under the Rampart Street house I was ready for a new project on Tuesday morning, but our fearless leader, Alex, had other plans for me, Ang and Sam, so..... back under the house we went to finish us the footings.

First we had to find capstones for each of the footings and glue them down. Then we needed enough boards to fill in the space between the cinderblocks and the support beams. Once the boards were all planed down to fit neatly, everything was glued in place.

I felt that the girls had been really good sports about spending 2 days underneath the house so I felt they earned the right to sign it.

Me too because I had been underneath there on two different trips.

So we left our mark for the future home owners and maybe some others to see one day.

I don't think we'll be going back under any time soon!

While we were under the house all sorts of work was going on above us.  With a total of 20 people on our site, 10 from the Detroit Presbytery and 10 from Canada, the house is a flurry of activity.
