We gave the Polyhouse back to the Todd’s today. We completed the job, except for a few things that we can solve easily. We are all tired, but please check back soon for reflective posts and more pictures.

PolyHouse 2010 blog 
In his book, The Star Thrower, Loren E. Easley talks of the day when he was walking along a sandy beach where thousands of starfishhad been washed up on shore. He noticed a boypicking up the starfish one by one and throwing them back in the ocean. Eisley observed the boy for a few minutes and then asked what he was doing. The boy replied that he was returning the starfish to the sea otherwise they would die.
Eisley then asked how saving a few, when so many were doomed, would make any difference whatsoever? The boy picked up a starfish and as he threw it back said, “It’s going to make a lot of differnce to this one.”
Eisley left the boy and went home to continue writing only to find he could not type a single word. He returned to the beach and spent the rest of the day helping the boy throw starfish back into the sea. (Even Eagles Need A Push: David McNally)
It was an honor working with all of you. I hope that your volunteer spirit is something you carry with you the rest of your life
