Wednesday DAY 4 (Part
1 by Shannon)
Today
was a very successful day! I’ve worked mostly on the roof and today we started
scraping shingles off on the other side of the roof, and we finished laying
down the black layer of roofing paper as well. We started to lay shingles over
the roofing paper and got four or five layers put down. On the deck we’ve gotten
the railing on the ramp put up and tomorrow I think we’re working on the
railing going up the stairs. This was our last full day to work and even though
we’ve been working really hard I’m not sure if we’re going to finish the
shingling or the railing. Today Ashley mentioned that in the past groups she’s
worked with Wednesday is normally the worst day in the way that everyone gets
frustrated with each other and just want to get the project done. At the end of
the day though she mentioned that we were the best group on Wednesday she’s had
so far. All in all I think we work together really well and I’m constantly
laughing, everyone in the group is so funny. This experience has been really
enjoyable and I’m so glad I get to spend it with everyone in this group.

DAY 4 - Part 2 by Tyler
From
what I hear, sounded like everyone had the best sleep so far on the trip and it
might’ve been from all of the hard work that we’ve all done, plus compared to
the hot days before, this felt like Michigan weather so I was feeling right at
home. Also from what I’ve heard, that Wednesday is one of the toughest days at
this mission site camp area place thing. Nope... nothing like that at all. Not
only were we working hard but we all continued to get along with each other.
While some were up on the hot, blazing roof replacing the shingles, easy to see
that that is exhausting to endure through, the rest were working hard on the
ground rebuilding the porch deck, organized into groups adding the railing
measuring and cutting and putting in the spokes between the edge and the
railing. I really wish that we had at least another full day working, not only
that I fear that we would need a little more time to finish everything in time,
but I have really enjoyed the time we all had together working our hardest. I
can go on and on but I’ll just say that I’m super confident that with how
amazing this group is we will accomplish our goals together with the most
positive attitude.
