With daylight savings time arriving overnight, Garry was still trying to reset the clock in his van at 6:30 Sunday evening when I talked to him at noontime here. He is (so far, fingers crossed) avoiding the stomach flu going around the students and staff since he arrived on Wednesday. He says in the house Leila is starting to feel better and Valentina is still sick.
He said that it was raining, if it's cleared up in the morning, the guys building the gas block (insul-block made from cement and sytrofoam) sides would be able to start building. They think it will take the three guys- one expert with the block and a couple of refugee guys to assist him - about three weeks to build the two long sides of the barn. It was only drizzling earlier in the day, the guys finished fertilizing the winter wheat before the rain started.
The roof material is scheduled to arrive Tuesday and the scaffolding tomorrow, they will be able to do the end walls and roof in a week or so, so Garry probably won't see the finished sides, but the front and back and roof should be finished before he leaves.
This morning church attendance was down due to the flu, but Max sent me a couple photos from church (Garry is having problems with the camera on his phone). Garry said Oleg's wife and kids stayed home, but some of the other kids sang a song and were very cute.
