A new addition is being added on so the older boys will have a transition home. The goal is to have them experience what a home life would be like as they grow older and prepare to go out into the world. Prayer is needed for rotation couples to come and host the home for the boys for three months at a time.
Materials had been delivered all of last week preparing for today's pour but I had no idea what was involved. Absolutely amazing. It appeared each group of men had designated jobs. I never did figure out how they knew it was time to haul more rock, or sand, or dirt, or put more water in the barrel, or put the concrete mix in.
They moved with such precision, it was like clock work. I was mesmerized. Had it not been the first day of school I am pretty sure I could of watched them for hours. (not the best use of my time I know)
The had a pulley system on the roof, hauled the concrete up to the roof, poured in into wheelbarrows, and repeata, repeata, repeata.
They got it done in 5 1/2 hours and then spent the next couple hours cleaning and dismantling everything that had been set up for the "pour".
So thankful for the hard work they put in for the addition on the home.
A group of ladies here with a team helped get dressers for the boys rooms varnished today. We plan to get their rooms painted in the next couple of days. Photos of the kids and the first day of school will come tomorrow.
Let the favor of the Lord be upon us, and establish the work of our hands.
Psalm 90:17
