Today the guys were busy nailing down the boards on the hayloft floor in the morning- Jake was up there before breakfast even. Garry had to drive Zaporosia to drop Maxime at the train station and pick up a drainpipe for the milkhouse floor.
The three village guys came and finished digging the foundation and spread around a load of hot slag. Garry and Seth hosed it down with water to cool it since the concrete was coming in two hours. It showed up just after noon, so dinner was delayed until it was poured. There was enough "ready-mix" to fill everything that was formed up.
After lunch most of the guys were busy nailing down boards. We have bought out every lumberyard in Dnepro of board lumber and all the nails that are of a size that will work in the village and the city. Luckily the village store had gotten in a big box because they needed more nails by three o'clock this afternoon. It is starting to look like a big dance floor.
This afternoon the guys sore muscles had a treat. Victor's wife's cousin is a massage therapist and came out with him after work, and everyone should sleep well before our day off in Dnepropetroesk Thursday.
