February 23 & 24, Bayou La Batre Habitat Build

When we arrived Sunday afternoon in Bayou La Batre it was 80 degrees. This morning it was rainy and 35. It stopped raining by 8:30 and we were able to get a full day of work in that was comprised of setting the roof trusses. It was hard work but very satisfying to see the bones of the roof taking shape.

Trusses up and our Buckeye banner hung deep in bama country!

 

Tuesday, no rain but still cool in the morning. The guys had to add smaller trusses to the front and back while Becky, Sharon and I nailed in the hurricane hangers or braces to hold the trusses in place.

This morning, Wednesday, the forecast is rain all day so we started with another fine breakfast from our team chef and then we will be doing home improvement projects in the habitat house where we are staying.

It is great to have Beth on our team. She has cooked our breakfasts and dinners. We take turns washing dishes and packing our lunches to take to the worksite.
