Unfortunately, Day 3 didn’t begin with a rainbow; however, we were all focused by now and had received our confirmation. That was a good thing, because after the issues we hit this morning, I would have easily given up. After our 5 am visit. . . the team readied themselves for a productive day of renovation and repairs. Our goal for Day 3 was to complete installation of all siding, all electrical rewiring, plumbing, and painting.

Remember that on the afternoon of Day 2, Bill Terry was changing out two water cut-offs in the main bathroom when he discovered that the existing galvanized water pipes were clogged. This meant that a whole new task that hadn’t been planned for, had to be addressed. Over the course of the day, all new water lines were installed in the house (technically underneath).

The size of the project has become much bigger on site than what was initially planned for. I don’t care what we say about child labor laws. In this instance, I paid no heed to them. All kidding aside, without the volunteer help of three teenagers and two children, we definitely would not have completed our tasks for today in a timely manner; especially considering who was responsible for the outdoor painting.

Scripture tells us that God rested on the seventh day. However, being that we’re just human, we will be getting a head start and taking day 4 off. Our plan is to visit some sites across the island of Oahu. Check back tomorrow to see where our curiosity took us.

Thank you to everyone for their prayers for this team. They have been greatly felt.
