Day 1

We are back at the team house tired but satisfied with our first day. We spent the whole day just trying to get above ground. We set the footers and the first row of blocks which will be underground.

Tomorrow our goal is to get halfway up.

We saw some of our old friends, and made some new ones.

We even had some entertainment at lunch.

While Rick his crew were putting in the footings, another crew started bending rods for connectors and tieing rebar. Since our crew was so small, consisting of Barbara Barhill, Victor Mireles and sometimes Chrisie Reeves-Pendergrass, we were able to put together 4 rectangular and 1 triangular rebar. While I formed several triangular connectors. Tomorrow will be a better day because of the experience we gained today.
