Tiring Tuesday

After a morning of waiting, we were able to begin work around 10:00am.

We broke into three work groups.

The first group was delayed the longest - Finally we got to help move furniture from a warehouse to an apartment. Then we went back to the amazingly fun and easy chore of cleaning up roof shingles #sarcasm. 

The second group went to Ms. Sanders' home and helped her with her closet.  We took out the mold. We got to talk to Ms. Sanders about her experience and how devastating the storm was.  And the challenges she had to face like the storm taking apart her whole apartment building.  She was lifted into the air and had to have surgery on her foot because of it.   

The second job we did was to continue picking up shingles and helping on the roof. Caleb became king roofer.

The third group raked all of the leftover construction scraps (nails,glass,wood,tar,shingles) from a local resident's backyard. Afterwards, we also used the magnet roller (pictured to the left) to gather any remaining nails or excess metals. Despite the bees, we were able to have fun and accomplish a lot!

After an amazing spaghetti dinner thanks to St Stephen's Episcopal Church and the best bread pudding in the whole world, we returned to homebase for an evening of volleyball--only to get the ball stuck in the ceiling beams.  We ended the evening with a rowdy game of Sardines.
