UNDER ROOF

 This is the team for the second week here at Zion. Brayden is Ron and Becky's grandson and has joined NOMADS to work with us on his spring break. Becky left on Sunday to go help with Ron's cousin who is very ill.

 Brayden started with hammering on the hurricane straps.

 Larry B and Ron putting on the rest of the trusses.

 They patched the back roof with the metal we took off the front roof. We all thought the opening made a nice sky light.

 Ginger and Brayden putting on cross beams.

 Larry put on the front fascia board..

 Brayden cutting some of the wood. Ginger and Larry B welcomed Brayden to NOMADS by giving him his own tool belt. He is official now.

 Now that all of the metal is off the front roof and the trusses are finished it was time to install the  new metal roofing.

 This big palm tree was too close to the back of the building so Bruce, a member from this church, cut it down.

 Fran spent a day scraping the rest of the building.

 The palm  tree was causing the back wall to crack, so Fran took out the old mortar and then filled the crack in with new.

 Larry B and Ron cut the old metal roofing to use on the back roof.

 Larry and I helped put on the new roofing.

 The sun reflecting off the roof made it a hot job.

 The next day Ginger and Brayden had the front portion finished so she helped Larry get the rest of the roof on.

 Becky was back with us by Thursday so she and Fran painted the building with Kilz.

 Larry taught and helped me mix the bags of cement to fill in these holes.

 The building was painted and the roof on by the end of the week.

We ended the week with toppling the last lean-to.
