WORK

Fun and trouble aren't the only things taking place here at camp. Work is also getting done. The first week we were here most of the work went into getting the slab poured. A few people worked on that while others worked on some other jobs that needed to get done (there is still a long list left). Here are lots of pictures of the slab in progress.

As usual we've had lots of help from the little people on each of the projects.

Here Liz was working on metal twist ties to strap the tubes for the radiant heat to the rebar before the slab was re-poured.Dave Erskin was the 'concrete guy' most of the time.The cement mixer did about 3 wheelbarrow fulls at a time, somewhat slow work for a slab that size.

While working on the slab Logan found something to do and boy did he have fun! He spent literally hours working alongside Greg and Justin. They took the time to explain what to do and to teach him to do it and he really loved it. The older guys were impressed with how he stuck with the task and I must say I was too. He wasn't just a kid in the way but a boy helping with an important job, which in turn made him feel pretty good=)
And along with work comes clean up....
All of our kids have done well. Monica spent the grand majority of her time the first week watching a pile of young kids ~ eight kids six and under! Zach has found things to do all over the place and we are pleased to see them working and learning how good it is to have a healthy work ethic.
