Our First Day!

Our group was split up today into 2 groups. Team C and A worked on 1 house and Team B and D worked on another. Here's what they had to say!

Today we got our assignments and split up into two groups. My group went to a house owned by a woman who's son was going to be the sixth generation of people in his family to live there. They both stopped by in the afternoon and it was really inspirational to actually be able to see the people whose house we are helping to improve. The house had been flooded and was pretty much gutted. Our group was working alongside two very helpful contractors who showed us the ropes. We did things like put up drywall, sanded sheet rock, took apart and assembled vinyl siding.
-Team C!


Today was our first day of work and what an improvement over last year! Our supervisor was both knowledgeable and helpful >he explained what we needed to do and boy did we do it. There was mudding,sanding and drywalling all going on at the same time. We got a great deal accomplished on our first day! We also got meet the family we were helping out. A young couple with a young daughter anxiously awaiting the day they would be moving in! We all feel good about what we have done and are anxious to do more!

Team D

Hi Folks!

Nice to see you're settling in and making a difference! Would someone mind taking and posting a group photo? Post it with a list of first names so we know who is who!

Thanks for the important work you're doing! It's more than simply the time and the accomplishments of one or two houses.

Thinking of you all...
