It’s the first night we had the heat on all night…brrr. It got down into the low 50’s here, so we were able to mostly use our heat pump and electric fireplace to keep us warm. We were treated to a really beautiful sunrise at breakfast :-).
It was definitely a sweatshirt morning, but it was very nice to be inside for our devotional and prayer. When Bob handed us our whole page list, we knew it would be a really busy day. He warned us that we would have to work around some contractors that were coming today. On top of that, there were many teams working on the same areas in the house, so it was a fun kind of craziness :-).
Our first task was to move the temporary post on the porch to allow concrete forming and pour. As we were finishing up our team meeting, the concrete contractor showed up so we quickly got to work to make sure he could get the porch concrete pad completed.
He also poured the back landing, which made it a bit tricky to get in and out of the house. We had to ‘walk the plank’ across the concrete to get in via the back door.
We then went back to installing drywall nailers to the trusses. We were able to install a few, and then it just got way to busy in the back of the house to continue, so we picked it up again later in the afternoon. We’ve got around 4 more to finish up tomorrow.
We moved to the kitchen area to install kitchen cabinet blocking, which provides supports for the cabinets and kitchen counter when they are installed.
While we were busy on our list, there were a ton of other things getting done. The plumber installed the vent stacks through the ceiling. The electrician and some folks from our team were roughing in the electric.
Another team painted the cabinet layout on the floor and were working on setting the bath tubs.
As expected, most of the teams will get back to their lists tomorrow to finish them up. Amazing how many things can get done in one day! God is Good :-).
It’s understated excellence by any standard -this is more than a building,it’s a marvelous example of planning skills married to construction expertise and true dedication.

Gee Joe, was the Right Angle Bit “Sharp”. I saw it and had a flashback to Brewster oh so many years ago and a certain father and uncle laughing it up at our expense and exhaustion!!!!! Everything looks like it is progressing great you guys (and the whole team) are doing an out of this world job. It is amazing to see this in such a short period of time. All the best
