Final Day of Building- What a Mess!

Up until now I felt like maybe we were on top of things but after spending many hours up at Jungle Camp working today I feel like there is just more and more to do. Everything is such a mess and I'm constantly saying to Dennis, "Where's the box knife? Where's the scissors? What about the staple gun, do you have it?" Things are taking shape although we've hit a few snags here and there.

Our outside plastic and screens are all on now. Dennis was working on a door this afternoon. I finished up the counters and started working on covering the foam on our benches. That was where I hit the snag- not enough material. Tomorrow we have a big shopping trip planned for last minute supplies so I'm going to pick up some plastic tableclothes to staple onto the back of our benches.

Another problem is that these curtains (Jungle Camp hand-me-downs) are not all the same length. Whoops. So I have to figure out a way that I want them tied up.

This is our shower! The bucket will be rigged up to a pulley and has a spigot with a shower head on the bottom. Well it doesn't yet, but it will.

You'll have to wait until Jungle Camp is over to see what the place looked like when it was all finished. :) Or just come to our open house (more info to come on here tomorrow).

We start moving up tonight at midnight. We are not allowed to drive or use anything with wheels, so Dennis and I will be carrying everything up on a "stretcher". We have to have everything up there by 5pm tomorrow night. It'll have to be liveable by then! I don't think we plan to do any more building tomorrow; we'll just focus on moving in and resting up. I think we are going out for lunch tomorrow during our shopping which will be a nice break. Supper will be a potluck up in Jungle Camp provided by the staff. So I'm off the hook with our clay oven until Sunday.
