Another dash to the Border!

Construction will commence once again this weekend if all goes well. Some of us were scheduled to return last weekend but unfortunately sickness and transportation deficiencies detained them. I am excited about the amount of volunteer who have agreed upon a second tour of duty. I must say our last trip was incredible and I am still amazed at the amount to tireless work the volunteers put in and their ability to withstand the onslaught of barking orders and other not so nice words from the construction superintendents.

Although we left the house unfinished, about three days behind our over optimistic construction schedule, I was still thoroughly impressed by the amount we accomplished under all the circumstances. We left a home with roof on, windows and doors in, walls papered and wired, and floor prepared for pour. We plan on embarking on our journey today with plans on returning Sunday with a completed house. There are still plans for a final trip to seal the floor and take care of any remaining items. Thanks again to all the wonderful volunteers and donors who have supported us.
