Gatlinburg 2010 Post #3

Post #3: Monday, June 28th    4:20PM

Our first day of work is officially over!  We're all very tired and very happy to be clean again.  At our worksites, we are clearing brush, cutting down small trees, building a deck on the back of a trailer home, and putting coolant on the top of the trailer.  The trailers that we are working on belong to one huge family.  This family has 4 mobile homes going up the side of the mountain.  As always, we're very excited that there are kids at both of our worksites!  We're actually trying to add one more small project that would involve fixing the tire swing for the kids.

Today mainly consisted of cutting back weeds, shrubs, and other growth around one of our houses.  At the other worksite, we scrubbed the side of the trailer to clean some of the debris of and framed the deck on the back.  Did I mention that the floor of the deck is 8 feet off the ground.  It's a whole new game in the mountains.  We should be finished with the deck by tomorrow.

We have free time this afternoon until 6:30.  After that, dinner and chapel.  During our free time, we have use of the Academy's pool, lounge, and recreation fields.  We also have the option to take a nap or just hang out in our dorm rooms.  We're excited for another day of work tomorrow!  Everything today was great, and now that we're somewhat settled in, tomorrow should be even better.

Keep checking back for more updates from our adventure in the Tennessee Mountains!  If you know anyone that would be interested in keeping up with our journey, please tell them about Hilltop Experiences!  Thank You!
