Last week







At left is the crew that painted a porch for an older couple last week. The couple had lost their old home in the fire. Although we didn't build their new home from scratch, they were very appreciative of the help we did provide. On Thursday night (cooks' night off) they joined us for dinner at a restaurant and shared some interesting stories. ACWR also skirted a trailer for the husband's older sister who lives nearby.





At right, laying out a site for the foundation. The new houses will have a crawl space, but not a full basement. Not sure if you can see it in this photo but much of the soil in the area is sandy.




At left, hooking up power to a site to run the air compressors (for air nailers), saws, etc. This photo and the two above are actually from last week.

Today was a beautiful day, sunny with a high around 60. Last weekend we had some unusually cold weather (for central Texas) and hopefully we can take advantage of the nice weather before the rain comes later this week. If days are particularly nasty the crew takes a break and spends a day in San Antonio as they did last Thursday. -Bryan
