Day 7- Wednesday, June 21, 11:59 p.m Radauti, Romania

Today was another long work day, as the weather was warmer (mid 80's) with less wind than yesterday. The team is getting tired and meeting for breakfast on time was more difficult than in previous days. Our group is bonding well and really is beginning to lean on each other for help and support during our visit, here in Romania.

The work day began again, around 9:00 a.m. with the announcement that we would switch jobs! After the poignant family meetings last night, everyone was eager to get to work with our new family friends. Today entailed installing floors and painting. The floors needed to have mastic installed, with 1 inch of styrofoam glued to the concrete, with laminate flooring sheets on top of that.

Brian, James, Dave Francis, and myself had a miscommunication with staff over the installation process of the floors. During the communication with Romanian Habitat staff, one staff member left the house in anger. We have been discussing the event as a team to help assure that we have the proper communication channels open during the workday. It is very easy to miscommunicate directions, commands, or questions on these type of builds where multiple languages are spoken, or to get the wrong impression when someone, who's language we do not understand, is working along side us.

Pizza was enjoyed at lunch and we dined in the evening at another local restaurant, the "Antiqe Restaurant". Many traditional dishes were tried, including wild boar, the daily special.
