Today I helped out with my church at the Morrell House. They are helping to restore an old Craftsman style house for the City of Redondo Beach.
 Here is the house: That is Mike waving. |
 He and I moved lots of dirt today. |
 Bill and Neil helped too. We wheelbarrowed the dirt into the forms that would become the wheelchair ramp and tamped it down with the tamping machine you see Neil using. |
 Sarah got to use the tamper too. It makes your arms jello if you use it too long. |
 Later in the day we dug a trench along the outer edge of the ramp. Next week they will pour concrete over it to form the rest of the ramp. |
 Mario and Jim (Not shown) were there today also. They were working on the electrical system. |
 The three plumbers were there as well. I think the finished up all the rough plumbing today. |
 For a while Bill dug a nice hole under the house. It turned out later that he didn’t really need to do that…. |
I had a great, though tiring time helping out.
