Building the Walls (first floor)

One of the much awaited days we were looking forward to was when David could uncover the first floor and have enough days of sunny weather to be able to begin building the walls for the house. Those days finally came and David worked hard to get the two outer side walls built.


Once those two walls were built we were thankful for Volodia, a deacon from Krasnoyarsk Baptist Church who also is a builder, who came with some of his workers to help raise those walls into place.


As you can see from the photo, the water hoses hanging on a small fence in our yard have snow on them so winter was again upon us. We had to work hard to be able to finish the first floor outer walls and close it in before heavy snow and winds came to stay for a while.
So, like it or not, the snow fell, and fell, and fell until the area around the house (praise the Lord already closed in) looked something like this...


Well, actually exactly like this! We were able to complete the four outer walls and the floor of the second level and cover and secure the tarps just in time. So, we were once again waiting for Spring. (hint: in the next post it will already be Spring!)
