Tuesday – Day 1 of Construction:
We started with a poured concrete foundation…by the end of the day we had three walls up!! We had built a shade provider…which came in very useful as the unrelenting sun beat down on us all.
The construction team bonded when they had to lift the entire wall to thread it on the rebar poking up from the concrete…it was quite interesting watching 6 men pick up a wall and hold it!! Thank you for your continued prayers for our safety and health!
Wednesday – Day 2 of Construction:
Guess what??? It is still sunny here in Temuco, Chile!!! Thankfully there was a nice breeze this afternoon that cooled the work team as they built the inside walls and started putting up the rafters.
Dwayne (Ketchikan, AK), the youngest member of our team, has shown himself to be a great worker by helping David (Norman, OK) put up the reflective coated wall sheeting (remember, it is REALLY sunny here!) on the exterior walls. I think they were both seeing spots!
We really appreciate all of your prayers as we continue to work on this home! More updates to come!
The Temuco Team
