Best Build Day!

When we woke up this morning we looked outside to see gloomy skies and buckets of rain pouring down. We were a little disappointed but we were told it should clear up a little later and the build was still a go. We were driven to the site by the parishioners and before we even arrived the rain had stopped and the sun was out in full force. It was the start to a beautiful day. The house was completely framed and roofed. We worked on a lot a siding, drywalling, and landscaping. Nick Van Horn and I took on a one task and worked like a machine on it all day. We had to cut and nail up triangles to fit in the overhangs of the roof. After that was done it was on to installing soffitt around the entire garage. We were having a lot of fun and making really fast progress. The build day was cut a little short as we ran out of stuff to do on the house. I think we moved a little fasted than Habitat expected us to. Back at the church Nick and I stuck together and ended up playing about 6 consecutive games of ping-pong. We had a blast doing that. After dinner most of us gathered in the sanctuary and watched The Princess Bride on the projector and then proceeded to bed for out first century ride in the morning.
