Today is the first day of Dallas Habitat for Humanity one week buidling blitz. I am assigned to 4529 Burma in the historic Joppa neighborhood in South Dallas, just east of IH-45 and south of Illinois. We together raised all the walls. Once the walls were all squared up, then some folks putting up OSB while I and and many others put in the cap plate all around. After that, we were all either on the roof pulling the trusses or staying on the ground and helping with raising the trusses up to the roof level.

It was so hot. Altogether, I drank 3 bottle of gatorade, 591 mL each, and close to a gallon of water. A total of about 700 volunteers worked at our location, which has about 6 or 7 houses being built.

Saw Lauren at lunch, who was working on a different house this time. We built at the same house last time, a couple weeks ago. Also saw judge Dianne Kathryn Jones at lunch. She's also building on a different house.

I left at four o'clock to go help Henry & Taylor pick up their beds and then went shopping a little bit for our church's Mother's Day picnic after the service tomorrow.
