We have had a wonderful 2 weeks building in Dade City, Florida. As you already know the first few days were COLD but it has warmed up and things got done. We got a house framed, roof truss up and braced and now we are ready for the next group to put the sheeting on for the roof to be shingled. Sliding was done on another house , fencing put up around a house, and fun was had by all. We laughed a lot, ATE a lot and just generally had a good time. Last evening 1/22 we had a hot dog, brat, Potluck with all the trimming included Jerry Bos(from Zeeland Michign) wife Sara's famous lemon pie & lemon bars at she makes from the lemons on the tree in their yard down here. We measure Builds by the number of pounds people gain and I think this one could be a 10 pound build. We have had lots of wonderful food.
Larry and I certainly enjoyed being the Team Leaders for this group but didn't get to do a lot of work ourselves as far as building as we have to make sure everyone else has something to do.
We hate to see people leave today but know that we will get another good group in to do more work next week. It is not an organized build but people can just drop in. The next Care A Vanner Build starts on Feb 15th and we will be Leaders for that one also.
