Third week at Heifer



   
 Our third and last week at Heifer started out with cooler, wetter weather.  The conditions were not good for working at the chicken house.  So our team was assigned to demolish the insides of a building that was being used as a rec room.  We took off drywall, tore down the ceiling and insulation and ripped up the carpet.  The fun part came when we started shoveling out the blown-in insulation from the walls.  We loaded the lung-clogging fibers into a horse trailer lined with a tarp.  After that, the 2x4 studs were removed and once again I was on nail-removing detail.  We worked for 3 1/2 days on this and accomplished more than was expected.  We quit a little early and started packing up and saying our good-byes.  One couple was going home, the leaders were headed to Texas, and I was on my way to Branson, MO.
