Thurs-
Up and at them-arrived at site by 8:30-painted the second coat of blue on the top one third of the finished 4 walls-at 10 am-all of the volunteers gathered to raise the walls - 5 men to lift and 6 women to anchor the wall from slipping. Heavy walls were lifted, braced, and held until they were nailed solid. All of the edges fit as expected and by 11:00 the house was up.
Next the roof-
Unload tin and rafters - climb nail and cut off ends-women continued to paint the 2nd coat of blue and the trim coat of pink-today was not as hot or as tiring as yesterday. Our skins continue to pink and our spirits are intertwined with the Belizian people and our mission of building a house.
