What a gift when friends come alongside to work with us! We felt this way a couple of weeks ago when most of our teammates declared it a "work day" on our house. It's amazing what many hands can do!
We had tons of wood scraps all over the yard. The kids worked hard to stack them in a back corner for future firewood.
A team of people worked all day, hauling sawdust up in bags to be distributed all over the attic as a natural and inexpensive insulation.
This plasic layer over the ceiling is supposed to serve as a moisture barrier.
It's such a gift to see people working hard and yet having fun at the same time!
We stopped for a lunch break of shashleek. It was a COLD day!
It was more-than-wonderful to have John with us. He was the mastermind behind getting the frames for our interior walls up!
Everything feels much more real when we can see where the rooms will go!
Anneka fell in love with the neighbor's new puppy.
I was very proud of myself for figuring out the chop saw all by myself when Leif needed boards cut for the interior walls.
I really didn't get a ton of pictures of people working, because we were all- well, working!
This last week Nettie and I stained and lacquered the floors on her side. It's a big learning curve for me, as much of these things I've never done before! Leif and a friend put up sheet rock last week and bought needed plumbing materials today.
Leif especially continues to meet neighbors and have good conversations with others as they come and help work on our house. Thank you for your prayers during this exciting and stressful time!
