00:00.439 --> 00:04.148
- We are on a humanitarian civic-assistant project

00:04.148 --> 00:08.315
remodeling a school in a city called Karlovac, Croatia.

00:10.077 --> 00:12.601
Essentially, there is a kitchen, a locked room,

00:12.601 --> 00:16.434
and a maintenance room that we have completely

00:16.591 --> 00:18.758
remodeled and are actually

00:20.602 --> 00:24.769
from destruction to even tiling and setting appliances.

00:27.823 --> 00:31.943
There's a lot of pride in it, I guess you could say.

00:31.943 --> 00:35.322
The reason why is because our unit especially does

00:35.322 --> 00:37.971
a lot of projects like this every year,

00:37.971 --> 00:40.826
and they're for a really good cause.

00:40.826 --> 00:43.287
I mean, a lot of units in the state of Minnesota

00:43.287 --> 00:46.134
don't get to come to a country and build a,

00:46.134 --> 00:49.278
or remodel a school for kids, you know.

00:49.278 --> 00:50.486
It's been really good.

00:50.486 --> 00:53.486
They're very knowledgeable, like us.

00:53.983 --> 00:56.231
The only difference is the way they do things

00:56.231 --> 00:58.749
is different than how our buildings are constructed

00:58.749 --> 01:02.093
so, even as a plumber, like myself, trying to learn

01:02.093 --> 01:05.926
how they plumb stuff, rough in, set appliances

01:06.477 --> 01:07.894
tests our brains,

01:09.805 --> 01:11.978
but in the end, I think we're figuring it out

01:11.978 --> 01:15.728
and it's fun learning a new way to do things.

01:16.097 --> 01:18.175
To have, essentially, a month, we've had a month

01:18.175 --> 01:21.316
between two chocks to finish the project

01:21.316 --> 01:22.899
and I think for us,

01:24.171 --> 01:26.439
for an accomplishment factor

01:26.439 --> 01:28.251
and then for everyone else back home,

01:28.251 --> 01:31.563
being able to see the project completely done

01:31.563 --> 01:35.206
and the kids actually be able to walk through it,

01:35.206 --> 01:37.048
you know, and eat from the cafeteria

01:37.048 --> 01:38.147
will be really cool.
