You have a wall! Okey, not quite a wall, but the forms are being set! Still so much work to be done! We are all working so hard! We had an afternoon shower yesterday that put a little damper on our work, but we still accomplished a lot. Angie & Jalynn stayed out in the rain to finish tying the rebar! Shirley, Becky, Emmy and Norma finished the spacer bars and now we have started making the ties that will hold the forms together! Of course, nothing here is simple! Shirley & Emmy spent the last part of the day unrolling the wire and cutting it & Teresa, Becky & I spent it straightening the wire and bending it to fit the forms. Meryle spent a good part of the day digging a trench to keep the water off the wall. Maxine spent a lot of her time cleaning the bottom of the wall with a scrapper and an old paint brush! Also, Teresa & Maxine have to go back and forth with the forms crew! (Tony, Steve, & Mike) I think they said, 13 more forms to build and then all the special ones! (You know, different sizes.) Unfortunately, the fatigue is setting in and our bodies are all getting a little tired, so with all that said, please stop & take a little extra time to say an extra prayer for us today to keep us strong, safe and that God's work will get done! God Bless!

It's so exciting to see the progress. We are praying for you all. So good to hear no one is sick! Take care
ReplyDeleteWords can not express our humble gratitude for all the work you are doing to bring glory to God. Talk together about a good date for a cookout at the Marshall's, and we'll see what we can do to make it happen. (Not fair week:July 13-18). Love you lots, Lucy
