Well, this is going to be an exciting week to report about!!!
Ok not really all that fun filled like the past 5 months have been. I have found a spot for me, and now I am in charge of maintenance around the base. We have several projects that need the special touch of well anyone. Currently I've been working on a room where I had to finish the tile on Monday and until who knows when
I'll be patching the ceiling where concrete has fallen. I have several places that look like this that will need help. I started with having to paint on an adhesive primer type thing so the new cement would stick to the old stuff. Wednesday I started patching and it was a complete disaster. SO FRUSTRATING!!! I bought some patch stuff that they said would work and they told me how much it would cover so I mixed it and before i could even finish putting it up it was hard.....
Then I didn't have enough to even make a little dent it the areas. Then I tried a different mix and that completely fell through Literally, it wouldn't even stick up on the ceiling. Then finally I found another substance that is a type of plaster more than cement and it's working great but it is almost all gone and we aren't sure what the real name of it is because is was left here about 4 years ago in a 5 gallon bucket. I'm LOOKING FORWARD to what the next mixture will bring. I have gone from the extreme horrible to the amazing and I'm not sure what the next one will be. We also have a youth team from
Canada here this week. They are actually a high school basketball team here and they are working in 2 schools a day running mini camps and playing teams here in the evenings. They are great fun and keeping me company in the evenings and even sometime throughout my work days checking to make sure I'm actually working. It is busy here now that I basically have a job. There is always something that needs to be done after i get done with this room I have 4 windows in our great house to replace, a building project that I get to help do the
re-bar for and pour the cement ceiling on, tons of stuff!!
Well that is pretty much all I have. Hope all is well where
ya'll guys are and you're staying warm. I'll send some sun when i can!! OH YEA, I have signed up for a
spanish class!!!! I am super excited to study
spanish and hopefully God will allow me to go back to
spanish speaking places to practice what I learn!! YEA BUDDY!!
