Women working… well they were working. Now they are cooling off. See those charts behind them? That is the schedule of what needs to be done and the time it needs to be done in..
More women working.
I wore my hard hat, glasses and closed toed shoes.. I looked beautiful.. I didn't take any photos.. you'll have to take my word for it. It was 108.. and my hair looked FABULOUS!

Wal-mart/ Sams donated a refrigerated trailer. They are storing water for the workers in here. Since it's been 108 here in Kansas some people have gone in there to cool off. 🙂

I have a secret.. I get to tell part of it today… My dork-y son #2 was asked a month or so ago to be the Extreme Makeover Home Edition IT (Internet Technologies) director for the Kansas Build. I know what you are saying.. isn't that kid only 15? Yes.. Yes he is. He's just that cool 😉
