October 6, 2023 – Let’s start some flooring

Brrr… it was in the 40’s this morning.   It only got up into the low 60’s with wind gusts over 20mph, but it was a good day to work once we started moving.    After our wonderful devotional and prayer, we started on the flooring.   For this house, the flooring will be installed without any threshold pieces between rooms.   This means that a single starter strip needs to be started across the whole house before each room can take off from there.  The end product is nicer because it’s one continuous floor.   Since the furnace room was already done, that was the starting location.   Most of the team waited until that first strip was set.

Then work could start in the living area.

While progress was being made in the hallway. 

We started in the master bedroom when the hallway reached that point.

By the end of the day we made some good progress.

Well, today is our last day of the build.   Starting next week, the work on the house will be completed by mostly local volunteers.   It’s hard to believe that we’ve been here for 6 weeks.  The time certainly flies by when you’re busy!   We are very grateful to have had the opportunity to give Becky a ‘hand up’ with a beautiful home, and hope to be back next year.   God is good.
