Work day 6

Today started off much like our previous work days, slightly over cast, yet it felt a little warmer and turned into a very hot humid day.

Dwight and Ralph back at laying bricks on the home made scaffolding.

Jonas mixing some mortar.

The chess board came out at coffee break and I was told to mention to those who have traveled on the trip before and know Ron's enthusiasm for chess that Ralph won the first round.
We had our first injury, not too serious thankfully. Jeff was coming down the ladder and stepped off onto a piece of wood with a nail sticking out that found its way through his shoe and probably about half his foot.

Jeff looking not to affected as he soaked his foot over lunch.

He even went back to work while still following Dr's orders to keep his foot elevated.

We had a couple other minor injuries today from falls with scaffolding collapsing so Lloyd went through and re-supported all the scaffolding to ensure those would no longer happen.

Wilf continueing to work on making wood frames for windows on the second floor as parts of the walls are high enough to pour the frames tomorrow.

Jeanette, Anne and Karen working on a few last rebar cages.
We seemed to have more down time today as there is not enough room to all work on the 2nd floor at once but it is encouraging to see the progress that has been made so far. Please continue to pray for safety and health. Thanks for reading and stay tuned for more updates tomorrow.

  1. Hi
    Thanks for all the posts and pictures. Lots of memories. Have you seen Rodrigo and Tatiana and the driver whose wife passed away recently and if so how are they all doing. Looks like the work is proceeding well with good weather. Who plays cards with Lloyd since Alex isn't there?

  2. Hi Betty, in response to your questions. Yes we have seen Rodrigo, he drove us to get some ice cream on Sunday, he is doing well. Tatiana had a second round of treatment and is looking great. She has had implants and was wearing a wig in the picture i saw of her. Jorge is back driving again and Rodrigo said he is doing ok. And as to who is playing cards with Lloyd i can safetly say he has suckered us all into playing. Everyone but Dwight that is (: Anita
