recap... Saturday

The set build day was brutal. We worked from 10 am - midnight builing the wall for our most recent set. There were 21 kids there and 5 adults... but... it just takes a really long time to cut, frame, cut, face, prime, paint, 2nd coat of paint, attach hanging hardware, hang, fit doors, hang doors and clean up for 52 ft of walls that are 12.5 feet tall. This week we will get to taping and hanging baseboards, chair rail moulding and crown moulding. The project (in supplies alone) has cost us about $870 so far! Just look around your living room... basically that is what we did.

The kids were amazing and everyone worked very hard... I hardly had to yell at anyone all day which is impressive... even more impressive everyone still has 10 fingers after working with huge saws all day. It was about 95 degress that day and we worked outside building... I got some nasty prickly heat and my entire chest broke out in about 1000 little tiny pimple looking things... gross. Thankfully it is almost gone now... it is still way to hot for a turtle neck!

OK... gotta get to school... last night was Open House so I didn't get home until 8:45... so I am dragging today and it is only Wednesday!!! Saturday really wore us all out... 14 hours (most in the sun) is really draining!
