Here are some blurbs from our kids wrote about their teams as they completed their first day of work.
Mark and Sue's team,( Wrenn, Madi, Alex and Bateman) were to put in skirting on Evelyn's trailer. They removed a large Iris bed and prepared the ground for the footings until the skies opened up. It poured for 2 hours! By the time the rain let up, they were able to replant the irises as a focal point of her driveway but the river of mud and water prevented them from continuing construction work.
They have Bear, a German Sheperd who loves visitors on site!
Susan and Mark's family( James, Charlie, Emma and Halle) and JC and Kimberly's teams( Jack, Cole, Sasha, Sydney) all worked together today. The family we worked for had 4 girls and 1 boy, 2 dogs and 2 cats. The roof
has been replaced but there was still water damage that had been there
before the repairs. We tore down the ceiling and found a lot of dust
and mold ( don't worry we have gloves, masks and eye wear.) As we moved
into the girls room there was water in the ceiling that we had to poor
out. We took off the sheet rock in 3 of the rooms and took out the
insulation. We also had to make some repairs to the roof as well.
Matt and Deb's family( Jordan, Elisabeth, Graham and Max) sanded a floor in a back bedroom, did demolition of a floor in the nursery. The young couple are expecting their first baby in a few months.
Their is quite a bit of activity at this location including 7 Chihuahuas!!!
The camp that we are staying at is a very typical middle school . We are
very lucky to have amazing air conditioning and hot water! We have 2 other groups here, One form North Carolina and one from Tennessee.
We have good meals( chicken pot pie and homemade biscuits tonight) and the kids are well fed and happy!.
They are all really hard workers!! Not a slacker in the group !!!!
I have attached a few photos from the last few days in random order! Everything from Line dancing in Nashville on our fun day to arriving at camp and then of course
More to come later!
