More blocks again

It is Thursday, I got up early went out to wherewe were cleaning the blocks and worked for about one and a half hours. Had the opportunity to meet the homeowner's wife. The homeowner came out to talk to me then. He was working on brazing a broken hub on a trailer when the grease heated up, blew off the hubcap and splattered hot grease all over his hand. He had a blister two inches acrosss and about one and a quarter inches high on the base of his thumb. He also had smaller areas all over his hand. He was heading down to the VA hospital to have it checked out. I went back to camp collected my 8 college students, Matt and the dump truck. We headed out to the block pile. We cleaned, loaded and moved 538 blocks today. We also got some of the lumber cleaned. It was a good day! We were back to camp before 5p. We have about 1400 blocks done all together. I figure it would take about 1700 blocks just to do the shell. I will need more to do the footing and interior walls. We are helping these homeowners soooo much. It would probably take them about two months to get this all done.
