Wire we doing this? Sept 22nd

Today started like any of our other days...food!

We all thought that we were going to be doing less labour some work than we had been doing since today we are tying all the re bar for the foundation. Boy were we sooo wrong. It took most of us about 5 to 10 minutes to learn the method of tying up the re bar with the wire. After that that is all we did all day long. It was very time consuming and kinda back breaking as we spent the day bent over doing all the tying. I mentioned that we were hoping to pore the foundation today too but the amount of time tying the re bar took wsa very underestimated. Of course it wasn't a big deal since we are sooo far ahead. After a lot of cut hands and bloodied finger tips e did finish all the wiring. Yes! Tomorrow we hpe to pour all the foundation and get started on pouring the church floor.

At dinner Guy haphazardly asked Kyle if we had to use wire to tie the re bar... as in are there other options.It was an innocent question.. Kyle replied with a "NO, for the gage re bar we were wiring we coulda used zip ties." Then he mentioned that back in the States they make wiring guns for tying re bar. Let me eel you the pitch forks and torches came out of no were....jks. The rest of the night we all gave Kyle a hard time. It was all in good sport. Lot's of laughing about it.

Well of to bed and getting rest for pouring tomorrow.
