The First Day of Construction

Today marked the first day of construction for the Johabeto project, which was very exciting and full of action. As most first days of anything there were the normal unknowns, things that were forgotten and glitches. Most all of that was to be expected. what wasn't expected was such a large turn out of workers, about twenty members of the community, that had came to work and show support. With all of their help we were able to get the ground broken and prepared for two of the building and half of the third. We had started off a little bit on the wrong foot digging the holes in the wrong place, trying to stay busy before the designer of the buildings had arrived to inform us on the correct procedure, but it was easily corrected. Once we received the instructions and help from an experienced builder we were able to get the columns and trusses up for the first building. what an amazing first day, that has us all tired yet pumped up to get the roof on the first building and the frames up for the second building tomorrow. Glory be to God!
