I'm back to building! Our build days so far have been a lot of finishing work, which is very valuable work to do and to know how to do, but now I'd like to do a bit more construction work on this trip. Today that all changed, as I was actually involved in framing the roof eave of the house under construction. Yesterday, our group lifted and installed all of the trusses as well as most of the windows for this small 2-3 bedroom house, so today we finished the windows, created the eaves, finished the exterior insulation, and completed watersealing all seams.
I'm feeling a lot better today, but we do have a century day tomorrow! Sally has continued to be a great host (they made burgers and sausage tonight for dinner!) and none of us are really looking forward to leaving tomorrow. Something that I haven't mentioned yet is that during our stay, Sally and Peter have been kind enough to allow us the use of their cars to get out and about the city at our whim. All of this generosity has really been overwhelming and I'd just like to give a huge thanks to Sally, Peter, and their family for organizing, funding, and hosting our unforgettable stay in Dallas!
