Today was definately a monday. At least it was for the painting crew. We didnt quite finish everything we had hoped to get done, but we are one living room away from having the entire house on courtnay street 1st layered. The hope is that tomorrow the entire 2nd coat will get on the walls as well. In addition they crew managed to get the trim that is sitting at Morton Street painted green. Just as it seemed they were finished Curt notified the leader that there was in fact a whole new skid newly arrived!!
There were crews on all of the houses today, and hopefully that will continue for the rest of the week. We certainly have the man power. The flietus house was completely cleaned by our ladies crew. They even scrubed the floors! Morton Street was also scrubed out this afternoon.
There are three crews at Dorothy Landers house. One on the porch, one on the doors and windows, and one on interior walls. So progress is flying there.
The newest house, on Henderson, is coming along. Les is heading up that effort with the help of Steve as they race to fulfill Les' promise to have the shingles on by friday at noon. Today they put up the floor. A new batch of 2x6's came in for that to continue.
Finally Morton St. had a constant flow of people today as two of the younger lad's worked on closing in the tops of the stilts, two finishing carpenters worked upstairs on the many details that were missing there, ladies cleaned, more ladies painted, and supervisors arrived regularly with supplies and instructions.
Finally, the meals... breakfast was Shirley's amazing keish. Supper was pork, salads (2 kinds), baked potatoes, and a bean casserole. For dessert we had pecan pie and shoofly pie, both of which were brought by some of our wonderful short termer's from Lancaster County, PA.
In other news, we had numberous spider sightings! Two were of the brown recluse spider (the poisonous one). One was found under a board by Susie one a site. The other was found in the girls dorm in Shelley's bedroom. Yesterday a girl was bitten by something (though we think it wasn't anything dangerous) while napping so the entire girls dorm is going to be "bombed" tomorrow as soon as it is cleared out so that by 5.00pm everyone should be safe to return.
