Today was sunny and not as hot as some days, early. We actually had a low last night of 68. We’ll take it. This afternoon was hot but not nearly as hot as tomorrow through Monday will be. 98 predicted high each day with heat index to 110. Hope they are wrong. At least we won’t be working after tomorrow.
Roy and Cathy had devotion today and it was really fitting for a Disaster Rebuild project. After devotion we asked everyone to be flexible today since Jeff called early this morning with some changes in priorities. He needed us to go set a small cabinet in the kitchen of Dora’s house. Jeff also had delivered the lumber for the chair rail and base for Mary Elizabeth’s so we needed to get that installed as well.
We split the team again today between Mary Elizabeth’s and our new job for Leon and Virginia’s. Max, Carol Suzanne and Larry to Mary Elizabeth’s and Anne, Ray and Cathy to Leon and Virginia’s. But first, Anne, Ray and Cathy went to Dora’s to install the cabinet. What should have been a quick easy install took longer than expected and we had to make a Lowe’s run for fasteners. We also needed to make a small piece of chair rail to cover about a 2 inch spot. Anyway after completing that task we got started at Leon and Virginia’s again working on the drywall sanding and mudding. We ladies just love all the drywall dust in our hair. NOT!! At Mary Elizabeth’s, Max, Carol and Suzanne made great progress on the laminate and Larry worked on the cedar trim installation in the dining room. After lunch Anne and Carol switched jobs. We wrote our thoughts and thanks on the floor in front of the kitchen sink today shortly before covering it with the laminate. The folks working at Leon and Virginia’s came back to Mary Elizabeth’s to help us move heavy furniture shortly before finishing our day. With the laminate complete in the dining room we moved the furniture back into place. Mary Elizabeth was so excited to have her china cabinet back in place. She immediately started washing her china and putting it back into the cabinet. The kitchen is about half finished. Some of the rooms we are mudding and sanding are now ready for the ceiling stippling. Great team with lots of work being accomplished. One more day left for us, but the work will continue long after we are gone.
