Work Week 23

This week was a busy week.  We are so close to getting all the houses to slab.  We passed inspection on Monday.  During the week people came out to continue working on the next four houses.  Friday  a crew came out and poured the slabs on lot 14, 15, 16, and 17.  






















Leticia and her kids came out Friday night, while Debbie and I were working, to see her foundation.







Saturday morning was very, very cold.  I wore 5 layers of shirts and I still was cold. We did our safety meeting and got to work.  Our goal was to finish the last four houses for footings.  We had to finish the front porches on all the houses, had more rebar, fill in hole, add utilities, add boards to the outside of the footings, clean footings, and finish adding the bolts. 


























Sunday was a little warmer, but it was a light rain all day.  The ground got more wet as the day progressed.  We all worked hard trying to get the house done. We were very muddy by the end of the day. 


John, Alfredo, and I came out Monday morning to finish up the last few items, so we could get inspection.

Here is what we put in all of our footings.  A lot of rebar.

We got all of the houses completed.  We passed inspection.  YEAH!  We are so looking forward to getting done with our foundation work.  I can see the end and I can not wait to lay down the last piece of rebar.


Psalm 23



23 The Lord is my shepherd,
I shall not want.
2 He makes me lie down in green pastures;
He leads me beside quiet waters.
3 He restores my soul;
He guides me in the paths of righteousness
For His name’s sake.
4 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I fear no evil, for You are with me;
Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;
You have anointed my head with oil;
My cup overflows.
6 Surely goodness and lovingkindness
And I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.


Prayer Requests

1) a dry weekend so we can pour.
2) Our health and safety.
3) We learn our new jobs quickly and do them accurately.
4) wisdom as we try to balance the house building with our families.
5) The relationships that we are building.
