             Beep, Beep, the alarm clock goes off and an answer of groans arose from the sleeping quarters. It was 6:00 and we needed to get up and eat before 7:00. Around 6:20 we all were up and eating, breakfast included pancakes with fruit and whip cream and orange juice to drink. At 7:55 we left. I was in a car with Barry, Jordan and two other Chris's; Chris D. and Chris B. We got to the worksite around 8:00. After meeting the family we got to work. The first day we moved the piles of shingles to the trash cart that we ended up filling up twice. After that we started ripping the rotting plywood off the bottom of the porch roof. Our progress was suddenly halted when the second board of plywood was pulled down and we discovered a huge wasp nest. We all moved away quickly and went to the other side of the house and took a break, so the angered wasps could settle down. After about 15 minutes we went back with a can of wasp spray. When we got there we came up with a plan of action. Someone would spray the nest, and of course with my luck that person was me. Everybody stayed back except for me. So I started spraying the nest and I didn't stop spraying until the whole nest was a foaming white ball. Since we had a little time we came up with another plan we would knock the nest over and crush it with a piece of plywood. We then took a shovel and knocked the nest down, threw the piece of plywood on top and then started jumping on it. Unfortunately a few wasps were still flying around and Chris D. got stung on the arm, but other than that we all came out of it alive. After that we continued ripping down the plywood. After the plywood was all ripped down we examined the rest of the wood and we decided it was too rotted. So for the rest of the day we ripped down the rest of the porch roof. On the 2nd day we started out by framing the new porch roof. Then we started roofing. First we put down tarpaper, and then we started shingling.
