Last working day and wow did this team really hit it hard on the new site.  Old exterior removed, some structure repaired,

insulation in place,

 

There was a break for pastries in the morning (Forbes and Greg’s main task of the morning) and then lunch prepared by Rita and Sarah

Always back to work, sheathing was put up and vapor barrier installed readying for another group to do the siding.

All in less than 2 days the house was transformed!  The home owners, John (pictured with Dan and Craig), Rochelle (his wife) and son were there watching, talking and helping.  They really appreciated the work being done.  Also Sputnik will be happy to get back to having his yard to run and play.

Late afternoon, back at BBM, we had a wrap up meeting with Craig, Kenny, Benji, John, Pam and Jake.  A lot of great conversation on how we could extend the effectiveness and reach of BBM.  The first step is that in February they will have an additional construction manager allowing Craig to think more strategically and develop further relationships to support the Mission.

Stay tuned for a final post over the weekend as we travel back and I reflect on this year’s trip.
