Notes from Delaney, Alex, and Blake

Hey everyone! Just going to leave a note telling you that we've all made it through day 2! Our groups job was to replace and repair soffit on our site. On day 1 , we struggled a bit to work as a group at the beginning, but after awhile we separated into smaller groups and began to work on specific tasks and it worked out well!One group was painting, another was prepping to hang soffit, and the last group was repairing old soffit that had drastically fallen. We were in the group that was repairing the soffit. We did this by using several boards and a bottle jack and were able to raise the soffit to where it was supposed to be and nailed it in. At the end of the day we made much progress! On day two, because we had already figured our what we were doing it went a lot smoother.It was much easier to get started and we were able to get even more done. We jumped right in by setting up much more efficiently (since we knew what we were doing.) By the end of the day we were able to finish repairing the soffit, prep the rafters for the new soffits, and finished priming the new soffit that was already up. It was a successful day that ended with everyone going out for shaved ice, which was delicious! After a great dinner of pulled pork and sweet corn, we visited with the neighbors again! Now we're playing games and winding down for the night.
