Our deck project made some serious progress. All the deck boards but one are down now, we got the stair stringers down and boards cut. Now we just need to get the railings on, and button up a few things and it will be done!

Our project inside took a turn for the worse. We knew jacking the center of the house was going to be a lot of work... and the thought was that the floors and structure rotted from lack of maintenance and other home issues. However it came from termites... it was so bad that the Orkin guy even said, "Oh Goodness!" when he looked under the house.

| As we took up the floors... we found more problems. |
Basically all the structural boards under the house were eaten up... so it will be a bigger job than we can do this week. Plus we will have to be out of the house all Friday morning after they spray the house. So it is going to set us behind, and hopefully future groups can get to it soon.
Our evening gathering was a game of Jeopardy against the other college here in local trivia. Guess who won... thats right, Team Ivy Tech! Afterwards we did a real scenario where we got six applications to ASP from local families and we had to pick which one we would help... guess who won that? No one... it was so hard to choose and there is so much need in the area. It great to know that we are a part of supporting some local families, and especially their kids.

I was going to make a trip to Walmart (yep again) for some more supplies. Ruth decided to come along and we had a great time... on the way back we decided to get some burgers from Pals a place we heard a lot about... well that turned into a 20 minute driving adventure, pretty much "Sam and Ruth go to Pals" type legendary saga. Yes, the burger was worth it, and the peachie tea...
