WEDNESDAY 1/19/11

on tues we had to sweep out the pool of water that had collected on the floor of the house we've been working on..due to the fact thayt on monday we had lots and lots of rain..some places near by got over 4 in and we aren't sure how much we got here in dade city but lots...the floor was almost like a a pool..so the first hr was spent trying to get rid of the water that was on the floor...

all this week i've been putting/nailing on hurricane clips..each clip has 10 holes and a nail has to be put into each and every hole...if you can't get one in a hoe then you have to make a new hole to put the nail in..then the u/clips have to be put on the rafters (i think that is what they are called hahaha) and again each one has 12 or 14 holes and each and every one hasd to have a nail in it..so you can see that it is a long tedious job...but has to be done...this has been a very busy week and so far lots has gotten done..tomorrw the plan is to start on the roof first by putting up the sheeting..the shingles are contracted out so we won't have to worry about doing that.(i don't anyway cause i don't go on the roof)...

these pasat 2 weeks has gone by rather quickly and on fri we will be going out to dinner as a fianl good-by to several of the couple that are leaving ..most on pulling out on sat but we have decided to stay till monday morning the we will start toward texas...it will be sad as the group are now like family and i guess in a way they are are habitat family...some of the couple we have worked with for 6 yrs and the rest this is the second build..there has been talk regarding next year and lar and i haven't really decided where we will head for next year..we would like to go to someplace different ...we don't want to wear out our welcome like an old penny...
