Another WorkFest has come to an end. Week 3 started off great with lots of warm weather. The first 3 days of the week it was in the 70's which was a nice change compared to all the rain and cold weather we had in Weeks 1 and 2. Week 3 we pretty much got up all the siding on the new addition, as well as 2 new windows, a door, and we even built the roof and got it sheeted and papered. In addition to all this the group even put up soffit and built a new deck complete with railings. Our Week 3 blue crew was awesome, we couldn't have asked for a better group to carry us through the last week of WorkFest. Their excitement and enthusiasm definitely lifted me up as I was pretty exhausted going into week 3.  Some of you may wonder what we do after WorkFest is over. Well currently my crew leader, Tony, has 3 jobs open, so Monday morning we are going to see where each job is at and see what needs to be done first. But until May it is just myself, Tony and Bethanie working on these jobs, so we have a lot of work to keep us busy. Then in May is when we start having church groups come down to help us for a week at a time.

In other news, March Madness is in full swing and I am a graduate of the University of Connecticut, so I'm very happy that Uconn is in the final four, but they are playing the University of Kentucky. So it will be exciting to see who wins. Clearly I'm living in UK country but I could never root against Uconn, because that's what I was born and raised on, Uconn basketball.  Hopefully my next blog will be about Uconn advancing to the championship.

Below are some pictures from the last week of WorkFest...enjoy!
