Day 266: My Favorite Quote at Church Today

By
This was my favorite quote at church today.  It was given during a Laurel (youth) Lesson (thanks Cheryl) and is from the LDS Church Handbook of Instruction:

“The Savior has commanded the Church and its members to be self-reliant and independent..…

“To become self-reliant, a person must WORK. WORK is physical, mental, or spiritual effort. It is a basic source of happiness, self-worth, and prosperity. Through WORK, people accomplish many good things in their lives.…

“As people become self-reliant, they are better prepared to endure adversities” and are “better able to care for others in need.”

(I added the red, underline and italics)  

I have been thinking a lot about WORK lately and the blessings that will come from our work.  I loved the line "it is a basic source of happiness, self-worth....."  Happiness and self-worth, that's what we're after for our kidlettes with this project.  We are most definitely a family who works and I hope that my children will carry this ethic into their future lives.

DAY 106: Garage Flooring, Main Floor ICF Stacking

By

We celebrated the holiday by WORKING!  That's how we roll!  The garage basement was about to receive it's flooring/roof.  But first, the big steel beam had to be lowered in place.  All the bolts sticking out of the top of the beam were welded on by Brent and Cole.  The cement locks around the bolts and helps to hold the beam in place.   Last Saturday Brent and Bob (Brent's brother) went to Provo and loaded up Brent's two ton bending table.  Since Brent rented the back hoe to lower the beam he decided to lower a few pieces of equipment into the basement storage.  The bending table was the first to go down, then the compressor.    Rick has been doing foundation and cement work for us.  He and Brent got that beam in place then Rick started working on the B Decking for the garage floor (storage ceiling).   Brent got to use his bender in it's new home.  The rebar he bent was for the ICF wal...
