All exterior walls save one came up today, as well as many interior walls.

We’re also sending a steady stream of helpers to the food pantry, Micah Center and Loaves and Fishes. Photos forthcoming.

Meanwhile, in the kitchen we’ve had to up the ante on food. Instead of cooking for 30, which is the actual number of people we’re feeding, we’re cooking for forty — with no leftovers. Grocery shopping never ends! Tonight’s dinner was everyone’s favorite chicken taco casserole. I woke up in the middle of last night thinking we should increase the quantity by 25%. We did, and ended up with only a small portion left over. This army travels on its stomach!

Our fine weather should hold through tomorrow, with clouds moving in Thursday, though still warm. That will help keep up the feverish pace the crew leaders have set.
