This morning we tore down the front wall framing of the second apartment and completely built a new wall and put it up.  We also put a 104" x 9" header over the front entrance to the duplex.  Sharon and Liz built a short wall for the door to apt. 1, and a 10' "middle" wall.  We ran out of 8 ft. 2x4' studs and RAI bought and delivered more.  Overall, we were left to work more on our own today. 
Here you see Liz and Sharon putting together a wall with a nail gun (powered by a compressed air canister):

We have frequently been invited to participate in community service volunteer activities.  The RAI community service coordinator arranged for Karen to spend most of Wednesday tutoring at Saint Paul's Lutheran Church School.  Pictures tomorrow.
