yay building houses!
i also had to fix some boards in the attic... that turned out to be a horrible task. not only were you surrounded by insulation, but you had to balance yourself on 2 2x4's so you wouldn't fall through the ceiling. and while you do this you are holding up scrap 2x4's to nail into open spaces [in the outer walls.... we're still working on those.]
[it's been raining for the past 2-3 days, so the site was basically a mud pit.]
we painted today =]

i love it here.
everybody is amazing, and this whole trip has been
a great experience. i talk to people i don't know; we

and i sort of feel like i'm actually making a difference.
or atleast i hope i am.

Rachel,
I like how you're entries are honest and reflective. the pictures also bring your experience to life for the rest of us sitting through another sleet storm.
Keep it up!
