It is raining again----it had been a few days since the last rain, so I guess it was time. It is mild though, but hopefully we don't hear any tornado sirens. I am a bit gun shy when it comes to that, having to get up in the middle of the night and go and huddle in the church is not my idea of fun nor does it let me relax about the weather. We were spared this time, but other areas were not. But I want to show you a few pictures of what went on last week here. It was a BUSY week, with LOTS of volunteers, but lots of FUN and LAUGHTER, and much accomplished again. We are definitely moving the houses along.
Remember the shingling job I showed last week. Well, this is the finished roof. Looks much better don't you think, and the owners should be able to stay dry underneath. The owner sometimes sat in his truck and watched the work happening with tears running down his face, he was that thankful and amazed at what was going on.

Once that roof was done, we moved to another on near by. Look at the picture and tell me, just how many volunteers does it take to strip shingles off of a roof? It was getting close to the end of the day, and most of these had run out of work at their jobs for the day, and so we had a lot of help on the roof. Some just preferred to stand on the ground and watch. The folks in the neighbourhood watched with interest as well at what was happening there. I think we were the entertainment for that day.
Work continued at other projects as well with doors being hung,
and painted, in the house that our volunteer is standing in front of.

Another house we have is called the "Challenger" house. It used to be called the crooked house, because when the first group went to work on it there weren't very many straight walls. It is better now, but when the drywall hangers went to work it became known as the Challenger house, because there were still not too many straight areas. EVERY piece of drywall had to be cut to fit. Last week, and the week before, there was a lot of taping and mudding going on and progress is being made.
there also were a couple of kitchens installed last week in two of our homes, thanks to some expert craftsmen.
More roof repair,
and finally, a picture of our group from last week. That in a nutshell is some of the goings on from here.
