Action Shots from Thursday

Each morning before breakfast Dennis leads us in some stretching exercises.

And after we stretch our bodies, Janice leads us in morning devotions to stretch our spirits.

The slab has all perimeter walls up and some of the interior walls are up at the far side.



Don, Jim and Bryan are discussing what needs to be done during the morning.

Bethany and Jerod are working on top plates for interior walls.

Gwen and Mike working on interior walls, too.

The ice cream vendor has been coming by the construction site every afternoon just around our break time - what perfect timing.

Getting ready to raise another interior wall.







A metal beam is part of the structure of the front end of the building to add support for the roof trusses over the large open reception area.





The beam is up and in place as Don makes sure it is securely in place.

Another interior wall encloses a couple rooms at the front of the building.

Bob was in charge of the assembly of the studs and jacks for this wall - "Bob's Wall."

Denny looks to be pleased with the progress of the day.

This is Leonard, he is the son of Jeremiah, one of the local construction workers. Tom befriended the little guy and gave Leonard his giraffe.
