October 4, 2024 – Leaving the build in good hands

We were again up before the crack of dawn.  While getting up this early has some issues (…lol), there are certainly advantages such as watching the sunrise.  Here we are enjoying breakfast while the sun is just coming up over the horizon.  It is amazing when you think that the earth is rotating on it’s axis about 1,000 mph!

The sheetrock crew wanted us to blow in the attic insulation before they finish the taping.  So, when we arrived one of our team members had already picked up the insulation truck.  After our wonderful devotional and prayer from the local pastor, we got right to work.  Our job was to load the hopper … which we had done before.  Once the hose had been placed in the attic, it was time to start feeding the hopper. 

After about 2  hours, we had blown in close to 100 bales of insulation into the attic.   While we were cleaning up, we noticed some dark clouds on the horizon.   The forecast was for no rain today … but, can you believe it?  Yeah, they were wrong.   But, we had gotten the insulation done, and our inside crew had finished up the window sheetrock trim and covered the outlets.  Since we had pretty much finished our tasks for the day, we decided to end early.  But – of course … we had to come back to enjoy the delicious lunch prepared by a local church.

It’s hard to believe that today is the end of our two week adventure.  The local affiliate is hosting a 2 week build dinner for the team at a local Amish home.  If it’s anything like we’ve been to in the past, it will be a family style meal served in an Amish family’s living room.  After dinner, we will be leaving Sullivan.  We have some sightseeing planned before we return back to Celebration.

We leave the finishing of the house in good hands.  There are some local volunteers that will finish up the remaining tasks, with the goal to get the family into the home before Thanksgiving.

Thank you for virtually joining us on our latest adventure.  We truly felt the love from everyone, and we are truly blessed to have such a wonderful extended family.  God is good!
