Day Four

Well, today started off with the lovely beaming rays of the sun. We also did our stretching routine consisting of the hokey pokey. From there we went on to the great art of sheathing the very top of the walls using the intimidating extension ladders. The process was slow, but the work was hard. Today, we started putting on the roof trusses. Even though the nails were stubborn and impossible to take out, some how we managed to do complete some. The mixing of groups has continued to where we all feel like friends. It is really nice to get to meet and talk with this diverse group from Philly, Maine, and Chicago. The days seem to have gone by so fast. It is sad to see that our last day of work is approaching, but it is amazing to see how far our house has come. Tomorrow I am going to give it my all to make this the best house on Plum Street. All I know is that these memories will last forever.
