We did hire some day labor. Not sure how I feel about that. I tried the ward first but no one wanted the work, and since we were in a tight time frame we went to the Home Depot parking lot to find some laborers. We had about 50 individuals to choose from. I will say this much, I have never seen men work like these guys. I have no idea how they do this hard labor day after day. I tried to feed them lots and pay them a little more than they usually get. I felt bad because the first day we had 4 Guatemalans the first day and they worked really hard and I really felt like I should have paid them more. 
When Mike was here he worked just as hard if not harder than them showing them how to do some difficult things. I tried to work hard along side them so that they didn't think I thought I was any better than them. Work is work and it is good for each of us. I can honestly say that I felt great at the end of each of these hard days. 
We had one boy from the ward (a big Tongan) who could lift 1-2 huge rolls of carpet at a time and throw them in the dumpster. Enjoy the photos!
