Wednesday, August 13, 2008 Workin’ in the Rain

It thundered, flashed lightening and poured overnight. By the time we were done with our French toast breakfast it was pouring again just in time for our workday. Back at Lee’s and Mr. Davis’ today to finish work. Too wet a day to start anything on Copp Street another destination with lots of work for the Team, we are told. At Lee’s we painted and hung some Lemon Drop colored cement siding between rainstorms. I loved the color; it looked like warmth and hope. At Mr. Davis’ we caulked windows and worked to finish up the ramp and railing on the porch. In all this rain am looking forward to a comfort food dinner of meatloaf with chocolate peanut butter pie for dessert prepared by the Chef’s. Today is Carole’s birthday! Team Blogger

“Ready” (Marilyn) and “Yes” (Linda) Boxed 12 windows and framed eight of them with trim with the help of Melissa’s sawing and measuring. Then Susan caulked the completed ones. What a team we made! All of this was done at the Davis home. We worked through rain and downpours, hot sun and humidity. What a blessing to accomplish what we did. Meanwhile Chris (G), Becka, Bob and Susan tirelessly assembled a vast expanse of railing. While struggling with the seemingly boundless angles of the inclined ramp rails, Chris and Becka did not fail with a nail once perfecting our technique of nailing the rails together and winning the day. Finished the day they posed gangsta’ in front of the well made rails.

Lee’s house is certainly coming along. She said that no work had been done for about four and a half months no work was being done on her house. For the last month and a half, everyday someone has been working there. Everyday she says she is so happy and glad and grateful for everyone’s help on her house. When she walked out this afternoon and she saw the siding going up she had tears in her eyes and her hand on her heart. She said it’s finally starting to look like a home.
