Incentives!

We learned this week at our 8 am meeting that IF we have all the houses framed by June, we can have ONE WEEK OFF! As in NO WORK! 30 hours of freedom! Now, this might sound silly, but it's HUGE! AND, I may be a little over confident, but we have six houses framed entirely, two with the bottom floors done and sub flooring started, and another one (Anna and Josh's 1295) started today! We didn't start until mid February, and it's not even mid-April. That's 2 months. Why shouldn't we be able to do 4 houses in the time we've done EIGHT! I'm totally excited about this! :) It's so the contractors can catch up and finish plumbing/electric/roof etc. But it would sure be a blessing! :)

ALSO, if you've been trained to use a nail gun, and Ross is there, they can be used. This is the equivelant of trying to dig a large hole with a spoon, or dig a large hole with an excavator. Seriously. It saves us HOURS of time, and is so very lovely!!! I mean, it seriously makes me smile everytime I hear the compressor kick on!

NOW, for the updates! :) This morning we sheer walled Robin's and Ashlee's houses, and then we started BUILDING Josh and Anna's house! YAY! Tina's house has siding, and I love the way it looks! See?

Ahren, Josh, Zhan and Bernie worked on housewrap and windows for Zhans house:

Sam, Jerica, Selina, and other people (who I can't remember at the moment) worked on subfloor sheeting on Jerica and Selina's house.

Garrett, Alan and Ross worked on the same for Garretts house, and then Anna, Julie, Ashlee, Dave, Kari, and I worked on building Anna and Josh's house! :) SO FUN! :)

As always, I had a great time with my neighbors, and am totally amazed at how far we've come! I have so much fun working with everyone, and getting to know everyone! Just a few more pictures of my fun neighbors!

I'm going back out for eight hours tomorrow, so I'm sure we'll get a little farther on Josh and Anna's! So fun!

Until next week! :)
