Friday

The team is currently engrossed in a massive game of Crazy Uno with Lauren while I write this update. You should hear the laughter coming from the table. We do like to play after a hard day's work.

Today the house was finished! We split the team into two groups today. Roof Crew and Ground Crew. The Roof Crew did as you might imagine and they roofed the house! They laid the rafters and cross beams and then put the tin on the roof. It looks great! The Ground Crew worked to help finish the floors. There were three inches of concrete to be mixed and poured in each room. That involved a lot of shoveling, mixing, and carrying buckets to Bosses. Both were hot jobs, but they were finished by noon! After lunch, we went back to the site to help Zizi clear the left over debris from his property, while the Bosses put the finish layer of concrete with splashes of color on the floor. It turned out beautiful! (Photos aren't uploading today, so I'll try again tomorrow to show you the finished product and the key ceremony!)

Boss Mario putting the smooth finish on the floor. They add the splashes of color as they smooth. Isn't it pretty?!

Making the steps into the house. Doesn't that roof look fantastic?!
