First, we would like to mention that the blog posted earlier today was actually from yesterday. It failed to reach cyberspace on time.
Today was our first day of work. We were split between two houses and separated into 6 work groups.
Heidi was at the house that crew leader Darwin was in charge of. Here is her account of the day:
Today my group worked on a house close to where we are staying. We started off with some wet siding boards that needed painting and the group before us had started putting up the siding. Since we didn't have the supplies necessary for building the railing we had two groups working on putting up the siding and one group painting it. In the end we had a good amount of the siding painted and about 3/4's of the house sided thanks to our handy dandy sea horse and our efficient workers.
Levi was at a different house with crew leader Mike. Here is his account:
Today we discovered our marvelous house on which we would be working. There was work to be done indeed, including painting the house, drywalling inside, and framing the railings outside. There was a fairly large group painting and managed to paint three quarters of the house by clean up time. The drywalling went quite well, so I have heard. They managed to get drywall up in a few rooms and are nearing completion. We may begin mudding and taping tomorrow. Outside, working on the railings on the stairs, there was some back-stepping to be done before progress could be made due to some mistakes made by the previous crew. Many screws were removed, stiles cut down, and screwed back up. After a long days work, progress is noticeable, and majestic. Everyone worked superbly and the house is looking fine. No injuries have occurred thus far on this work site.
Busy day had and more busy days ahead!
Sorry no pictures today, we are having troubles finding cameras tonight with the right memory card to fit into Heathers magic USB key. We are a scattered bunch enjoying our free evening. Some are playing basketball or board games, some went to the beach.
Talk to you soon.
Communicate, update and plan on Windows Live Messenger. Get started today.
