The first day of work is in the books, and we're feeling quite satisfied with the progress in spite of the heat; even Wilson was hot. The 1 hour 20 minute ride from the guest house to the work site included 2 stops for water and ice. Although the ride was long, the accommodations at the guest house awaiting us at the end of the long, hot work day makes the ride worthwhile.
We were warmly greeted by the Pastor and several others who were awaiting our arrival. After unloading the lumber and surveying the work area, we laid out the boards for the truss design. Those boards were then used as patterns for cutting the pieces for subsequent trusses. The Pastor's wife prepared lunch for us, and several other folks helped with handling the material.
By the end of the work day one truss was completely assembled and a second needed only gussets applied to the second side. About half of the needed gussets for the entire job were cut.
Tomorrow we rest and anticipate a very productive coming week.
