Sometimes Things Work
Part of my MySpace blog...
July 1st, 2008
Yesterday an amazing thing happened. We were able to do something! And it only took one trip to town and a purchase of less than ten dollars! I didn't know such things happened. What it was was that there are these braces on some of the walls but they are no longer needed and are mostly in the way now. But our builder used some sort of star screw thing that was buried deep into the wood and we could not get it out. So we went to a hardware store nearby in Iowa and a worker guy there showed us what we needed (a little bit to put inside the battery powered screwdriver(or Sarah calls it, the "powerless" screwdriver). So we got back to the homestead and it fit inside our screwdriver, which was charged, and then it actually took out the screws, all of the ones we wanted to get out, with no trouble. Things like this don't usually happen our homestead. I was flabbergasted. Still can't believe it.
We have bales placed in every wall section that calls for bales at least three or four courses high, so now all we have left in that department is placing the high bales, wire mesh, and tar paper. Then on to other parts of the house.
