Friday at Cinco Senores

We put the roofs onto the two houses that were built. One of them will be used for a shared kitchen for a group of familes. the other is an addition to a house and will be used for a place for medical care for a lady needing special care. The second was a bit of a challenge since it was added to the adjacent wall which was rather aged cinder blocks so any screws would not bit into the material it would just disentegrate. So we ended up chopping into the blocks and inserting the rafters. That took a bit longer than anticipated but we finished up both roofs. Tomorrow all that is left is to go back over to the church building and set the benches back on the floor, stain and varnish the doors and frames and do a little touchup on the floor paint.

It was really interesting to drive through the orange groves which stretch for miles. We took a little different route home so we were really up close and personal going through the groves on a small dirt road. most roads are dirt with potholes that make Minnesota washboard seem smooth. The Chevy van is getting a good workout, but is doing the job very well.

Now we are beginning the wind down and contemplated having the temperature go down, and return to our normal worlds.
