I'm running out of good Blog Titles already... uh oh
Another day of working with Habitat. Today did some more painting and chalking with Sarah and Ashlyn and then worked with the site supervisor (Mike) and did a little metal bending! Yay for learning new things. It seemed pretty intricate at first but made a great deal of sense after getting some hands on training. I always thought I was pretty decent at hammering nails in, however today I learned how spoiled I've been using steel nails and not hammering upside down. Talk about a challenge, if I can somehow manage to acquire this upside down hammering aluminum nails without bending or breaking them by the end of this program I will be a happy camper (of course Mike makes it look like child's play). As much as I would love to continue working on this skill tomorrow with Mike, I will instead be working with the rest of my team at a fresh build site prepping for Saturdays build when most of the public volunteers come. It will be good to work with my whole team once again for the next 2 days but I am also looking forward to attempting that upside down hammering again... And some other members of my team and other teams got to use automatic and semi-automatic nail guns today which is just awesome, hopefully I will stumble across one or two of those bad-boys in the near future! After "work" my team headed down to the local YMCA and we were given free memberships as long as we volunteer there 1 hour a week which is pretty sweet. Finally get to head back to the gym, all this cardio is really skimming me down. Oh I posted a picture I finally got my hands on of me and Anderson Cooper from the news program which you can also see at the top of this post... also reminding me I just figured out how to add pictures to each post and not just at the bottom so I'll have to start taking advantage of that so you guys don't have to scroll down everytime! Alright I get to "sleep in" until 6:30 tomorrow which is nice however its almost 12 so i'm passing out! 2 more days until the weekend for me...
