Day 3 - Over the hump and preparing for a strong finish

Yikes, it's already the end of day 3.  Only two days left, and SO MUCH still to do!!!

On the Fuller Center blog this morning, Team Hancock was cited as be a well oiled machine.  Tonight I think that most of use feel a bit like the "Little Engine That Could" - "I think I can, I think I can!."  It's pretty quiet in the halls of our hotel,  but by the end of the week we're confident that we'll be able to say "We knew we could!"

We finished sheet rock hanging today, and we're desperately hoping that the pros will come to do the taping and jointing (soon).  They make it look effortless, and we know we are no match for them.  Taping in key to making the end of the week as we can't paint 'till its done, and we can't do the trim until we paint, etc.

Next is floor surface prep.  A tedious, dirty and dusty process as we chip away at high spots, broken concrete and remnants of old well worn vinyl tile (at least we HOPE its vinyl).  Despite the work, it was a great chance to get to know Stewart much better as we swept, chipped and filled side by side.   At lunch, I had a fascinating talk with Chris and Tim about their trip to North Korea, as well as a few glimpes into their more than 12 or 13 week a year that they give to the Fuller Center!   And of course, the comradery throughout the day is at least half of why this is such an  enjoyable endevour.

Tomorrow promises to be a day of more variety in assignments.   We'll hang some doors, trim some windows, and maybe base boards, lay some floor (assuming the leveling compound we did at the end of the day has set up properly), and overall make more great progress. 

We think  we can... We think we can...WE KNOW WE CAN!
