| Five days! One more day, and the
first week is over. Any doubts about not getting everything done in
time for the raising should have been put to rest today. This morning
we had another short lecture by Rudy, a few short words about safety,
and then outside to work.
Lots of progress...people
were working in the shop on workbenches and outdoors on the saw
horses. Carson gave a demonstration on the use of the chain mortiser,
and the Hand Crank Boring Machine was used for the first time.
Tomorrow is the last day Rudy, Laura and Carson will
be with us, as they have to head back to the "center of the
universe" (Burbank, Ohio) on Sunday. The new instructors for
next week will be here tomorrow, which will be a full work day on
the project. Many thanks to the Christian's for being with us this
week in that other "center of the universe" (San Diego
County). Can Rudy wear his shorts in Burbank, Ohio, in January?
Will Carson's pants continue to talk to him? Will Laura's finger
heal OK? We're sure they'll follow the progress of the project,
even if they can't be at the raising in person. |
