Building Day...?

So, our time for building is quickly coming to a close.  This will most likely be our last blog post, because when we move up, we will not have access to email, facebook, telephone (landline or cell), or any other modern means of instant communication. We will be off the grid.  However, we CAN get letter and cards, and hope you will send us a little note of encouragement.  Our address is:

PO Box 707

Durham, ON

N0G 1R0

CANADA

 Here is what we've accomplished since I last wrote.

Bill stapling up screen for our windows. 

Eli making a little stool to go with the table he built. 

The boys sitting at the table on benches and the stool Eli made, inside the boys' bunkhouse.

On Tuesday, Bill, Simon, and Liam, along with our other classmates and staff, went on a 102km, 3-day men's canoe trip, along the Saugeen River. Not surprising, no one brought a camera, but here is a picture of them before they embarked on their adventure.

Meanwhile, I was left with Bronia, Eli, and Ethan to do some more building, and here is some of what we got done.

We put up black plastic for our walls.  We had lots of help from the other ladies left at camp. Also, our chimney got put up, which you can see at the back left corner of the house.

 I made a pot of espresso on our stove top...

...which Bronia and I enjoyed.  Mmmmm, delicious! 

We finished making the benches for our dining room/living room area.  (You can see the boys' bunk house off in the distance)

Also, Bronia and I made our counter tops, which are now ready to be used!

Today is our last full day to build, because tomorrow we move in, whether or not our house is ready.  We still have our (Bill & Debby) bed to build, as well as Bronia's, the table and front door to make, and a host of other little things to do.  We so appreciate your prayers and encouragement.  Please keep it coming!
