Team 4, Day 2!

Today was a little more taxing than yesterday, with our first day on the job excitement worn away by a hard day of work yesterday. Even though our energy level was a little lower we were still able to accomplish a good days work.

Dave and Tom were able to make progress on the ring beam, although they were having to wait on a few things before they could get everything in place. Another group of us were able to get most of the floors in building one leveled and a few rooms cleared of rubble in building two. Adam, Leah, some Kenyan workers and Zach for a while at the end were able to get all the windows set in building three before we left for the day. Penny with the help of a few Kenyan children moved piles of sand and rocks close to building one so that when it comes time to pour the ring beam we will be well prepared!

Our much waited for door frames were delivered today with some assembly required. Dave and Tom were very disappointed to find out when the first assembled door frame was delivered for fitting that the door did not fit in the frame! So the door and frame were taken away to be redone alone with two other frames that were almost finished. Hopefully round two for the doors will prove to be perfect.

We were also blessed for the afternoon to have Alicia, Heather, and Mike as extra team members. They helped us level floors, bind together the rebar inner parts of the ring beam and play with the kids.

We are hoping that tomorrow the guys will be able to finish the ring beam in building one and if we're lucky and they have enough supplies get started on building two. Looking forward to resting up tonight to get a good days work in tomorrow!

This blog was written while the power was out so we were unable to upload any pictures, time and power permitting we may try to add some later. If not, hopefully we'll get some pictures up for you tomorrow.
