Building Complete

Today was an awesome day. Everything came together, the single
house, the double wide house and the school room all got
completed. By the end of the day everyone was tired, but feeling
great about our accomplishments. Each site had a ceremony to turn
the keys over to the families or, in the case of the school, the
school superintendent. Congratulations to all the teams who so hard
to create a better life for these families and children.

Two of our sites got a visit from the mayor of Rosarito today. He
wanted to thank our people for their hard work (it may have also been
election time).

Today's work consisted of roofing, stucco and trim. By the end of the
day, most of us were covered with stucco (cement & sand). The
roofing crews had to work on the hot roof nailing down asphalt and
sealing it with tar.

Again, we made it through another with no serious
injuries. Everyone, of course, had the scrapes and prick of chicken wire.

Tomorrow, we will begin our long journey home. We, of course, look
forward to seeing all of you.

Jim
