Jay has been working in Washington along the Columbia River for about a month now. My dad got him the job so he could earn some extra cash this winter. Jay is working about 10 hour days 7 days a week assembling windmills. Here are some pictures that he took from his cell phone. It is amazing how big they are. Jay said the windmills are 300 feet tall when completely assembled. He also mentioned that the screws they use are as big as his arm! He hasn't been able to go to the top but said he would rather be safe on the ground and risk not falling and hurting himself. I don't blame him.
Luckily he will get to come home for Christmas. After Christmas he will go back and probably work till the end of January. Then he when he gets home he will be focusing on getting his crew together for this summer. I am excited to see where we will end up spending our summer this coming year.
I am grateful to Jay for making this sacrifice for our family. The boys and I can't wait to have him home!
