Olivia C - day 3


On the Barnesville worksite today was workday number 3. We went to Donna’s house to try to finish up the handicap ramp. First, we measured wood to cut the beams for the railing on the ramp. We also nailed in the last beam on the ramp. We all signed our names on the board underneath the railing, so we can all be apart of leaving our mark on the deck and ramp. We continued washing and placing the bricks to line the ramp that we had previously dug out from underneath their old deck that was falling apart. After the deck and railing were complete, we rearranged the first beam on the ramp to make it level with their original porch. Today Bekah came back to our worksite and played church hymns with Donna’s son, Scott. We were also able to talk more with Donna and Scott and learn about their life. After we packed up and said goodbye, the daughter-in-law Rachel came outside and the reaction on her, Scott, and Donna’s faces to the completed deck and ramp was the best part of the day.
