Using brushes and rollers the team covered the walls with the brightest blue paint that I think Mission Discovery can find.
The families became involved in the step, jumping in beside us.
Brielle admitted that perhaps more paint was on her than she had put on the walls. Since many of us brought down a single pair of shoes, it will be easy to tell that we are a group when we fly back home at the end of the week.
The paint dried quickly in the 80+ degree sun and we moved on to raising the walls up.
In 15 minutes, the four walls were up and suddenly a new home was taking shape.
Over in site 1, they found that the floor was not completely supported. The oldest son (who had just come home from school), quickly jumped underneath to prop up the unsupported floor joist. Obviously the team was having way too much fun, and decided to take the opportunity to re-enact their favorite seen from the Wizard of Oz.
Site 2 pushed forwarded and put up the roof and trim on the house.
The new blue homes are easily seen compared to the older homes around them.
A nice photo op with the family in front of site 2, and the work sites for Tuesday were packed up.
Through customs, then a quick stop for 23 slush puppies (and a couple cups of coffee) at a gas station, and we went back to camp. Another great day completed in Mexico.
