No sweeping and mopping today, hooray!
We started work on framing a new building for staff housing. It is 28' wide and about 40' long. The foundation walls were poured last week. today we put up the sill plates and half the floor joists. Tomorrow we should install the remainder of the floor joists and get a decent start of the floor.
High here was a cloudy, windy 43 today. Low last night was 38 and low tonight is forecast to be 33. Tomorrow there are supposed to be fewer clouds and the high is supposed to get up to 54.
I've been corresponding, via email, with a lady at a YWAM (Youth with a Mission) in Tyler, TX to see if they were interested in our being volunteers there over at least part of the winter months. She had given me the phone number of one of their Facility Managers and had asked me to call him. I talked to him today and he said they would be happy to have us come any time and stay as long as we want. He wasn't sure what we would be doing but was sure that there would be something for us to do. I told him I was concerned about spending the winter months in Tyler, because I thought it might get to cold to be there in an RV. He lives in an RV and said he has had no problems. He said it rarely gets below freezing.
Our son Drew is negotiating to buy a house in Oakland, CA. If he can make a deal we will probably spend some of the winter months there. It will be good to get a chance to spend some time with him, while helping him do some needed maintenance work on the house.
Over the past month or so I've also been doing a small amount of work on a Tate & Lyle project at Loudon. Getting in a few billable hours is nice.
Good night to all and may God bless you and yours.
