We were all signed in, had tools, and were on the house porch waiting for our task assignments.  Our project coordinator turned to me and said “Do you mind being the safety watch?”   In my head I sighed, “Can you imagine a duller job?   From my mouth came, “Sure.  I’ll do that”.   It turned out much better than I thought.  I ended up working the outside of the wall while one of the guys used a sawsall to cut out window and door openings.  It was rewarding to see our progress and we were done by noon so I even got some hammer time in the afternoon.   I didn’t have much opportunity to show off my rad mechanical aptitude but by the end of the day I felt like I had contributed to something good.

We are heading back to play carpenter or whatever they need tomorrow.
