Mo!

Yesterday I worked with Sean Butler and his wife Lisa. We did a huge section in the entryway running finish- I think we did a beautiful job! We worked and sang songs all day, and got a little sunburned:-) There was a brother on site today cutting holes in some huge rocks for a water feature, and he let me take home a piece. Hmm... now what should I do with it?

Miney...

This day was a stucco brown coat day again. Whats with the tie-dye shirts, you might ask? Our whole stucco crew wore tie-dye shirts today to show our overseer Sean Butler how much we love (and love to tease) him. A few weeks ago he showed up on site wearing a bright pink tie-dye shirt, and people teased him the whole day. Henry and Jill made a bunch of tie-dye shirts for everyone, and we wore them today to surprise Sean. I actually really like mine- I'll probably wear it again:-)

Meenie...

This day was my first time floating finish- that is the very last layer in the stucco process, the one that everyone sees and has to be perfect! We were working on the box details between the arches. Also some girls from my hall were on site today. Yay!

Eenie...

I am SO BEHIND in posting you guys... so sorry. I have been doing a ton of stucco at CRAH. We have been working with Andrew DeHer- he is so awesome. Such a great overseer and teacher. Thank you so much, Andrew! Here are a few pics and video of us doing the brown coat on the wall.

Stuccoliscious

On Saturday, Sunday, and Monday I worked with the Stucco crew. We have some brothers visiting from Georgia who are very skilled at stucco, and they are teaching us so much! It is really nice to have such experienced brothers helping us. We are really pushing to finish all the stucco- there is so much on this assembly hall! Its hard to believe that we only have a few months of construction left. I am really going to miss CRAH! Anyway... I have been having some problems with my camera, so my pics are limited, but here are some that turned out good.

Ceramic Tile Weekend

This past Saturday and Sunday I attended a Ceramic tile class for CRAH. It was at a Kingdom hall in Accokeek, MD. On Saturday we learned how to lay Ditra, and then the tile. Then on Sunday we learned how to grout. It was so much fun! We had 30 something people in our class, including a lot of my core worker peeps. Different congregations made our meals each day- let me just say, they did an AWESOME job. We were feasting like kings all weekend (my mouth is watering just thinking about it:-) On Saturday we worked until 11pm! Sunday we finished around 3. I took some pics on Saturday, but then on Sunday my camera broke, so no pics:-( I would like to give a shout out to the Peters- thanks for your hospitality! Now we are ready to lay tile in the assembly hall- I can't wait!
