Fire-retarded

Important goals were achieved today. This morning we set out to cover the ceiling of our barn/workshop with fire-rated plywood. Acquiring the plywood was an adventure in the first place, so we could assume that the application would be just as interesting! It was a little slow getting started, but with some precise measurements and physical collaboration we completed installation of 12 sheets in the ceiling of the barn.


This portion of the barn is what we call the "Taj Ma-stall". When I had my horse, Danny, he lived in this barn. It is a luxurious 14x24 foot stall, which he had all to himself. In this picture, you can see where we have already installed the ceiling on the right, and the portion on the left still to finish.


Here, Dad and Collier are holding the plywood above their heads as they try to screw it into the rafters. We were creative with scaffolding. Thankfully the ceiling is only about 9 feet high.

We were blessed with a yummy Chinese dinner at the end of a long work day, and we were very thankful to make it through the day injury-free! We're looking forward to a day in town tomorrow, worshiping and running errands in preparation for another work Monday. We hope you are ardent and sincere in your worship tomorrow as we are eager to be!
