Greetings from Yuba City, CA! We just finished our last build day and it went really well. We only worked on one house so as usual with 25 people (2 are still sick), it was a bit hectic and there were some ‘I have nothing to do’ moments. But we got a lot done, especially for a house that only gets worked on one day a week – usually Saturdays. The house is for Barbara, a single mom and her adopted son. It will hopefully be done around Christmas time. We worked on a bunch of different projects – everything from roofing to pouring the cement front walkway. It’s definitely a great feeling to start with a house that is just a frame and by lunchtime have enough roof on to sit in shade during lunch. Now we’re all scattered doing random errands etc before we get served dinner and take showers.
Our ride in yesterday was alright, pretty uneventful. We went from 3000-something feet in elevation to 60 feet in elevation. That doesn’t mean there weren’t any hills though. We did our share of climbing. We also went over this dam that was just beautiful. The water was turquoise – it looked tropical! We arrived in Yuba City in late afternoon and had a huge (indoor) BBQ with the members of the Baptist Church and also gave our presentation. It was a good night overall and I fell asleep watching ‘Harold and Maude,’ a great movie if you’ve never seen it.
A hard ride into Napa tomorrow. Not sure if I’ll get to update before we get to San Francisco on Thursday but I’ll definitely do a last entry there! Much love.
