Mind in the Gutter?

Hello Friends!

The real work began this morning. My mind has really been IN the gutter ever since this project of a rain water storage tank was introduced. We determined the placement of the tank, then we hung the gutters, and chipped out a concrete slab in order to lay pipe in a trench, safely out of the way of the children. The work was slow at first, but once the boys got the "hang" of it, everything moved along well. The children at the home were in school, so at first it was just Brian and I and our two 15 year old boys, Ben and Jess. Then, the kids had a mid morning break and once again we were surrounded by masses of little ones. Some of the older boys eagerly lined up to help, so for the short break, we obliged and off to work they went! We still have quite a bit of work in front of us, but what a great start! In the upcoming days and weeks this project will be completed. Then the children's home will have a faucet for laundry, one for the latrines, and one for the kitchen. BTW... my mind was in the rain gutters of course!
