It’s day two of our project, building a foundation for a house, and with the rain gone we actually got some work done. Some of us are setting up the joists while Pam and I are hammering away at anti-termite metal in an attempt to make them fit. It’s coming together great. Even with a storm rain just barely skimming by us, we didn’t actually get hit although it turns out people work a lot faster when you tell them a storm is about to hit. It looks like we might finish our goal for this entire week by tomorrow. But, because this was our first day actually working for the full time, it was also our first time getting used to the usual New Orleans heat we’ll be working in. We had to learn the hard way that you’re no use to anyone if you don’t stay hydrated and how to use tools we’ve never picked up or even seen before.
