FIRST DAY OF WORK

our first day of work was very productive... it was a very windy day...but NO rain and the area is praying for some...haven't had any since sept..

pictures are of how it looked like we we started this morning just s slab...then the wall started to be put together and 3 of them went up..they mom and dad worked with us all day and the mom went to get the kids out of school wehn the first wall went up and were they excited..they even pounded in a nail oir two and did al little help on the house...to make things even great for the family it was the parents 14th anniversary so it was just that much more special for them..

it has been a differnt build so far and a good group of care-a-vanners to be working with...we are building a green house meaning we are using all the recycled products we can and making it very sustaina ble...the house they built last year electric bill has only been around 30$ a n]month and the electric company wanted th change the meter a s they thought it was faulty hahaha it wasn't...the house also gets solor panel hot water heater which can switch over to electic is the need arrises...the house is air tight enough the a/c is hardly used...so all this is differnt to us and we are learning some new things...maybe we ought to do all this on our house at home..excpet we don't have the sun as much as here in texas...

on wed we are invited out to a ranch for dinner..i asked if they had cowboys and indians...i was told yep..so that ought to be an interesting night...not sure what we will be served but it is at he presidents house for the local habitat...

we are served lunch every day byt the local churches and business ...so i just have to be careful not to eat too much..i would have gone back for secnds today but i told myself NO you don't need it even if it is good...i don't want to have to go buy new clothes ....so far so good and all's well donw here in mason...
