As excited and encouraged as I felt at the end of the day yesterday, it was no surprise for me to be as sore as I was this morning. I did a web search to find that it is my aductor magna which hurt the most. Tomorrow we will be placing more concrete, about four times the amount we placed on Monday, and so my aductor magna should have another opportunity to perform beyond their accustomed workload. I want to capitalize on the presence of Sajmir in the most impactful way possible and do not intend to slow the pace of work while he is on site.
In construction, you will happen upon a person with enough experience in a given area to simply adapt the principles they have come to know to the project at hand; like a bird adapts to a sudden updraft. Today Sajmir had me cutting the rebar he would then use to tie into the cages he designed for our walls and columns. I would come back to him and tell him that I had completed the last task he had given me, at which time he would get a distant look in his eyes as he calculated in his mind what size components he would require next. I have always enjoyed carrying the water for a master.
Mustafa and Mosi also flourished today through Sajmir’s expertise, and his steady, quiet, tireless approach to work. Mustafa and Mosi’s oldest brother will be joining us tomorrow to lend a hand with the concrete mixing; it should be a day friendship, foundation, and strength building. These projects give us an opportunity to be a part of something beautiful, the legacy of which will outlive us all.
