A Very Productive Week

It has been a great week. I am amazed at the amount and quality of the work that the youth has accomplished. They can hammer, use circular saws, drill guns, measure, cut, and just figure things out. Here's a short summary of what we did:

• Finish sheathing the house (front porch, upstairs and a lot of patch work)
• Boxed in the upstairs porch, insulated it, sheathed it and started wrapping it
• Framed part of a bathroom, put up concrete board and did some electrical
• Pulled out 5 window (3 small, a medium and a big 3-panel window)
• Reframed around 4 of the windows and completely installed them
• covered the big window (until they get a replacement)
• sealed and wrapped 1/2 the house
• pulled out some fence posts

Rick, the home owner, says he can already feel a difference in the tightness of his home. His wife is getting excited about the bathroom and loves the new windows. Here are a couple of  pictures of the work:

It was a great week for the youth, the leaders and the home owners.
