Insulation

our first Sasha student came back a week ago

The new and improved attic on Friday afternoon
As you can see, Garry and the students are making progress on the 'new house' this week. The wood and insulation was delivered on Tuesday and on Saturday they finished working on the attic floor. The students had removed four wagon loads of dirt and rotten wood as seen in my last post by Monday evening.

Garry was amazed at how much they got done when he left them working by themselves for an hour on Thursday while he was showing some visitors around. They were very proud to show him, too. We now have two Sasha students with our first one returning to school. He is the one in the photos, the other Sasha stepped on a rusty nail sticking up through the house earlier Thursday afternoon and had to get medical attention Friday, the group home father drove him into Zaporozhe and he is supposed to stay off his feet for five days. Garry says he is the hardest working student, too. The students get paid by the hour for the extra work on the house, and Valera was very excited about his pay on Friday. Hopefully all the surplus doesn't go for cigarettes.
Monday afternoon the plan is to start the downstairs demolition with the students, with the building team from Alberta coming in on Saturday evening, there will be lots for them to do.
