Last day

 Wow, I just accidentally erased a huge blogpost for this day. So here's the quick version.

After one last breakfast of oatmeal and fried eggs, and devotions by Jeremy, the guys got an early start to the day. They hoped to get as much done as possible before they left sometime between four and five in the afternoon with Victor.

All the students except Sasha B were in class because it was Tuesday morning when Larissa teaches Ethics.  Sasha was helping Mick tile the bathroom most of the day.

Jeremy, like he did on Monday,  did some regular work after finishing up his electrical work.  Today he hung the door foor the bedroom around lunchtime with a lot of helpers.

Even Nelly helped with holding the door.  The bedroom is done, door, floors, ceiling, pink walls.

Garry had to make a second run to Nova Lene at lunchtime for one more box of laminate flooring to finish the living room.


Jack was off at the shop altering the cabinet that was to go over the stovetop when I arrived with Nelly for lunch. The Crawfords walked over, and the students were starting to arrive from class. They had all been invited for soup, sandwiches and birthday cake because it was Kolya Mazhara's 27th birthday.  Nelly had helped load everything in the car.

Garry took off with a sandwich and a bowl of chicken noodle soup,  and soon everyone had one, except Jack.  Jack did get his special diet bag lunch with raw veggies,  rice cakes and a pulled pork tortilla wrap. He sat with Kolya and chatted after Kolya blew out the candles.

After lunch, Garry returned and Jack went back to putting down the last of the laminate while Dima helped Garry with the cabinet uppers.

 They were still tiling after three when I brought some coffee and cookies down to the worksite.  Dima and Leila were helping Garry put trim around the ceiling.

It was about 3:40 when they quit working,  got cleaned up, packed up to leave. Victor was later than planned because he picked up Mick's glasses. There were  lots of students hanging around the house to say goodbye.

The guys made it to Kirvoy Rog in about three hours last night and right now (midnight Wednesday night)  they should be on the intercity train to Kiev for their flight Thursday morning.
