HOT!

Wednesday, July 12, 2017

Weather-wise today was a carbon copy of yesterday, only hotter. The TV said we were again in triple digit heat index and it is expected to get worse into the weekend. Oh well – can’t change it. We just try to ensure everyone on the team takes adequate rest breaks and drinks plenty of fluids. We slow down a lot in the afternoon.

Dave and Rita presented our devotion today and it was on joy, based on Psalm 100. We all agreed that even with the heat, working this Disaster Rebuild in Lumberton has certainly brought us joy. We hope we have shared the joy of the Lord with people we have met here and we know we have shared the joy of the home improvements with Mary Elizabeth. She just walks around sometimes just looking at everything. She is so appreciative and such a hard worker. Yesterday when we tried to get her to sit and rest she refused saying she can’t just sit when we are there working on her house. She feels she needs to be working anytime we are working.

Today we continued what we were working on yesterday. The laminate was completed in the living room. Crown molding was installed in the hall. Trim was reinstalled around 4 living room doors. Quarter-round was installed in the front bath. Progress was made sorting the cedar boards for the dining room. There was continued caulking and painting of trim pieces. Two doors were rehung in the living room. Working on trim is very time consuming. Things are looking really good. Still a ways to go but it’s getting there. Tomorrow we there will be caulking and painting along with lots of other projects. It will also be our Friday. Got to love it.!
