We lost David as he had to travel back to Chicago. We're all very sad. But we did add Shatisha and Andrea. We had to add in additional beams to help keep the house up. I can't remember what its called exactly, I'm on construction terms overload.
We also began raising the tresses up to the top of the house. What a hard thing to do, but very interesting. Most normal construction sites have some sort of machine that would help raise them, but this is Habitat and they don't have that kind of money to blow. So three of us had to walk up ladders, while pushing the tress up the side of the house while three people stood below helping push with 2" x 4"s. Probably not the safest, but it worked. A group inside the house then had to drag the tress from the back to the front of the house. They were having some issues and one of the girls that was supposed to help didn't want to do it and was being a big whiner. We only got five raised before we ended for the day. We'll finish the job up on Saturday.
Here's some additional pictures.
