Update 3-15-08

Among other good things going on in the construction, there are always some setbacks and surprises.

On Monday morning 3-10 I was surprised to find a small lake in the back walkway. Apparently on Sunday morning the water pressure burst a joint on a temporary shut off valve for the bathroom. It didn't pop out completely but just enough to make it spray water on the wall along the back rooms all day long. For those who don't know adobe walls don't do so well with water. They soaked all the way through. So the only thing left to do was peel off the plaster and wait for the bricks to dry.

We were fortunate because nothing collapsed and it didn't spray on the electrical box on the other wall. So the Lord was protecting us even in the midst of a minor setback. It also gave us a peek at the walls to help us with deciding whether to keep or replace those rooms down the road. So things are cleaned up now and we'll put repairing the walls on the to do list.
