Meet the Garcia family we're helping build a house for. Today was the parents', Javier & Lisa, 14th wedding anniversary. In case you can't tell Lisa from her kids, she's the one in the GAP sweatshirt (we all want to know how, with 5 kids, she can still look about 12!)The first photo on the right is the before photo - plain slab the house will be built on. The next is Javier & his sons putting the finishing touches on the first wall. It was such a big day for the family they took the kids out of school for an hour so they could watch the first wall go up.
The next photo is it going up. The crew actually got 2 more of the walls up with the fourth ready to go up as soon as the inside walls being constructed in the warehouse are done.
The other two photos are the warehouse, an old wool & mohair building. It's claim to fame is that when it was completed way back in who knows when, Lawrence Welk and his band came to perform at the dedication. (Maybe the reason the interior walls didn't quite get finished today was the crew were over there dancing to long ago echoes...)
