In case you've never noticed, yes, I made a cute title for this blog all those years ago. Garry had a good day to take photos, because he sent me more than any day since his first whole day in the village. His new nails won't arrive until Tuesday, so he cut the rest of the boards he didn't finish on Friday.
Daryl and Adam ended up driving Garry's van back to Kirvoy because Adam's van needed more work done after the first repair was finished on Monday. Or almost back to Kirvoy because they broke down just before getting to the city. They thought it might be the alternator, but I haven't heard how it's going, other than they are repairing each other's van.
Garry got the flat tire on the brown (old mission car) repaired on Monday at the Shinomontage - one the first places we learned the name of when we moved to Ukraine. He said there was a hole in the sidewall and in Canada we'd buy a new tire, but they patched it in 15 minutes. Cost -about 20 dollars.

On Monday they were making sure the planter was ready to start planting corn on Tuesday, but they didn't plant Tuesday and won't on Wednesday because they got an inch of rain! Rain is always good in Ukraine and this is the first "real rain" like Garry's been hoping for. He said all the drizzle rain days you could kick the dirt and there was dust underneath but now there's mud.
So Tuesday they got the new nails and they are the right ones this time, but they were trying to get a better (higher) amount of air pressure to run the nailer so that the nails go all the way into the wood. Here's some photos of the three phase compressor they are working on to get the job done. With the wet weather, Garry's hoping to have lots of help building trusses tomorrow.
