Troyer Addition: Week 78-79
August 24, 2024
Week 78-79: Siding and our first work injury.
Sunday Sadie worked in the Red Barn with her volleyball team.
We've been plugging away on the siding a little bit every night and were really hoping to have the front of the house done heading into the long Labor Day weekend. However, we were reminded again that while the heart of man plans his way, the LORD establishes his steps. Proverbs 16:9
Tuesday night I dropped Sadie off to hang out with Wes for a bit and hurried back to help with the house. I'd power washed the front of the house the day before and we were working on cocking around the siding and windows while Brandon hung siding and the rest of the kiddos played. It was almost bedtime. The little girls had just been sent into the house to get their jammies on when Brandon misfired his siding gun and the nail ended up in his knuckle. OUCH!!!!!
So painful...so disappointing..so frustrating (mainly to Brandon) and yet were thankful that of all the injuries that could happen while working on a project as large as this addition this is what we're dealing with.
Brandon and I headed straight to the E.R. while Grammy headed over to put kids to bed and get everyone settled. Thankful she lives so close once again.
We spent the next 6 hours in the E.R., 2 1/2 in the waiting room and 4 1/2 more having the nail pulled out and follow up x-rays done. Uggg!
