DAY THREE - WE DID IT!

Well we had an unbelielably long but highly productive day today.  It was hot and humid as usual but we worked all day and actually into the night somewhat.  We did not leave our site until almost 7:30.  We were able to finish the roof detail, put up all the facia board around the structure, completely insulate the interior, walls and ceiling (that was absolutely miserable, but we got it done), wrapped the outside in Tyvek and then put up theT-111, and put wall board up on the inside.  The electrical was completed and hooked up, the lights were put in, the outlets covered, and we even put an outside light and outside plug in.  It was an amazing day.  The kids worked so hard.  The inside wall crew did not want to leave until they finished what they had started.  We were so proud of them.  Eagle Ranch staff stayed very late to feed us when we got back at 8pm.  We are so grateful and thankful.  They take such good care of us.  Everone is now showered and just hanging out.  The kids will probably have a bonfire and roast marshmallows.  Can't believe any of us are still standing after today.  We are so proud of all we have been able to accomplish in just 3 days!
The new front door! Notice the light and the electric plug!


The wall crew!


Notice the lights on in the ceiling!


Putting up the walls.

Sitting down on the job, but still getting it done!

Insulating was hot and miserable!



The T 111 looks great!

Glenn almost wrapped himself in the Tyvek!





It was HOT on the roof putting in the wood burning stove pipe.

Tomorrow is our day off, and I have to say we have earned it and then some.  We get to sleep in until 7:30 tomorrow morning. That makes the kids very happy since we have been getting up at 6 and having breakfast at 6:30. We will repack all the tools under the bus for the trip home and then we get to play.  We will go and do the zipline and after lunch White Water Rafting!
