The rain and wind howled in and I snuggled under 4 blankets with my clothes on. Jeffro was right we should have purchased some firewood at the supermarket for some heat in the tiny wood stove which would have helped.
The last sheet of tin went down, ridge cap on and external and internal lining fitted. Poor no. 2 man robbie had accidentally put his foot through the ceiling lining! I'm so impressed with the team who despite limited building experience are giving it their all.
So in just three full days we have a standing house! Try doing that at home! The house actually looks like the real thing now and Manolo's smile at the end of the days says it all. I headed out next morning to the airport and Mitch shared more of his vision and passion for this tough community. There is a wide open door for for surf related ministry here. I have about 5 interested people who want to come next Jan/Feb. Mitch says we can build a house (or 2?!) run a local surf contest, take a surf camp. Pichilemu increases from 3,000 to some 50,000 over summer. Want to come along?
