Our work comes to a (temporary) close

Today was a fine day and we accomplished much. With the drywall up, our next task was to begin mudding the walls, and as you can see in this image (left), we got a great start with the first coat. This was my first crack at mudding and it took a little while to get into a rhythm, but eventually, we got cranking. Craig tells us it's at least a 3-coat job . We had a couple of visitors to the site and both commented on the superior quality of work done by our team and that feels really good to know that we have not only done good work, but quality work as well.



The rest of the team got to finishing up the covering on the underside of the house. There is a mesh fabric that needs to cover the insulation. Two folks had started the job earlier in the week and our two teams of 4 or 5 finished stapling today.









A big thanks to all the hardworking folks of May 2008 Biloxi worktrip!










And of course, tonight was the time to inscribe our handprints on Geneseo's wall here in Biloxi's "Yankie" Stadium. Another week of work is accomplished and we all remember that there is yet more work to be done. I suspect there are many who will be returning to East Biloxi next year.
