Build Day 4

---

Another day and one without rain. A good thing. As we started the day, our leader, Mike, thought that we would be delayed as showers were expected, but to our happiness, clouds, a bit of sun and wind. We made great progress by finishing what we could on the roof. I estimated, 15,000 nails, or at least it felt like it. The house is wrapped in with the weather sealing product and the scaffolding has been delivered and ready to put up. We have a house or more than the shell. The end of the work day ended with the successful flying of the Habitat for Humanity banner above the house. Great photo! We headed out to Mission Bay, downtown Aucklund to meet up with Dawn from the NZ Habitat office. A great meal of fish at the harbor side, some ice cream for those diehards then home to Takahini Lodge to rest our weary bones.

Looking great!
what progress -- you guys have really cooked on that house. And it looks like there's no shortage of good humor and good fellowship, either. Love the Brad video -- maybe you can reenact that scene when you get home. Safe travels!
