We know you are getting tired of this but wow – another beautiful day. Wonderful day to be working outside.
Bill provided us another inspirational and thought provoking devotion this morning about excellence when doing God’s work. He mentioned an incident on another project where someone did a less than acceptable job on mudding some drywall and then left with the statement “That’s good enough for NOMADS.” Bill took exception to that. The central message of his devotion was that anytime we do something as “God’s hands” we should do it to the very best of our ability.
After devotion, we all went back to our duty stations from yesterday – Bill and Marti to Little Brown and the rest to the new base camp. By the end of the day we had completed (we thought) the two tent platforms that had already been started by another group and installed the frame and most of the decking on the third. Getting the posts set in the right place and plumb took the longest time. While the guys worked on that, Harriet and Anne completed the trim work on the first two platforms. Right at the end of the day, Dennis came up the hill and pointed out that we had used the wrong ridge boards so we will have to change those out when we go back. Bummer. Other than that it was a very productive day working outdoors in beautiful weather with a great group of servants.
After completing the installation of the new breaker box at Little Brown, Bill and Marti joined us on the hilltop and help with the decking. It was good to have the whole team in one place again. This is a fun team to work with. Always a lot of laughter.
