Day 4 - All done. Tuesday, May 26, 2009

Although all of us felt "hammered" this morning, from hardly enough time to recover from the effort the previous day, we were all excited and eager to go to finish up the remaining four houses and hand them over to their new families. After the now familiar ride to the same village, we attacked house # 6 & 7 and managed to "nail them" all before lunch.

Luckily, today our Indian teammates had organized some Aloo Parata to keep us going - a welcoming change from the Peanutbutter/Sardines/Meat paste Sandwiches from the day before.

Again we were surrounded by curious villagers, many helpful hands and critical inspections by future owners to make sure all nails are where they were supposed to be. After lunch, we headed a bit up the road to finish the last couple houses - perfectly located to get the full exposure to the searing afternoon sun!

We attacked the last two houses, knowing that all families were impatiently waiting for us to finish and hand the houses over to them. Pulling all together as one team, we managed to put the final nails into the last house, just as a thundering rainstorm rolled across the village and provided welcoming cooling to all of us.
