...Mission Trip...at the sites...

...our group would be serving 2 different sites...and they got to dig ditches at each one...a french drain here at this site to keep the water coming down the hill away from the foundation...
...and another ditch and drain here to help manage some serious run-off at this site...the kids sure look like they're having fun don't they?...

...that was Warrior Wednesday by the way...
...then it was time to move inside and put down some new tile flooring...

...so we loaded up some luan on the truck...
...and measured (twice) and installed the luan...
...then spackled it and sanded the joints...
...and laid down the new tile...

...these photos are from two different sites...they did a great job and learned skills that will help them as future homeowners too...

~Have a lovely day!

    Showed my husband the post. 'If you were going to give someone a job you'd give it to them - absolutely'. He used to hire engineers before he retired so he knows what makes a good employee.

    So, not only is this great fun for the youngsters, it's great preparation for life. I wish I had had these opportunities.
