Slidell

I'm not to sure about this blogging stuff, by the time I get on the internet I have spent a half hr on the computer. I have a long way to go. We have had a great week and a half. It took a drywall sanding blitz with all hands that we could use to get Doug and Mary's shotgun house ready for paint. Today we have the whole house with one coat of paint and some rooms starting on the second coat. The house that I sent a picture of we have it leveled ,all the plywood on the floors the windows out and the room arrangement set up so we can put up the studs on the inside to make things a bit more stable. My first reaction to the house was what a dump that was before I met the owner . Now the house has a face of a elderly little lady who told us she has waited for 2 years to get back home. Now it is the red house and a very special challenge, right up Rich's idea of a fun job. The group of people we have working with us give 110% they also have a good time doing it. I have never worked with such a funny group. It starts around the breakfast table already and goes on until bed. I guess we have to work them harder. It makes for a great time. We have a Last Nail on Fri and I hear even the Mayor is coming, Ms. Frances knows every one in this town. She also feeds us at noon and half of the neighborhood. Things are going well. I will try pictures later when time permits. Thank you for your prayers we could not do without them. Rich & Phyl
