Another Build Day

The build in Madison was awesome. The site had three houses in progress. All of them were near the end of the framing stage. Many of us were working on sheeting the roofs. Unfortunately, my group had to undo the work that the group from the day before did, because they did it incorrectly and nailed to the wrong side of the joists. So, once we tore off all they did, we did not make too much progress on roofing, but it was still fun being up on the roof. Lunch was provided by Pizza Hut and was delicious. Later in the day a news crew stopped by and took some footage of us and interviewed some of us. It aired in the evening news and was out first televison appearance. Looking back on the day it seemed that this was many people favorite build day because they got to do real construction work and felt accomplished. I also shared that feeling. Tomorrow is another century ride, so sleep is a must when we have to wake up at 5 am.
