Today we continued our work from yesterday. We pulled out staples, worked on the floors, pulled out dry wall, and did some cleaning up. We did this to help build new rooms and walls later on in the project. The past few days we have been deconstructing the trailer in order to construct it in the future.
Today we also were able to spend more time with Joey, and learn more about his family. We learned more about his son and daughter, and learned more of the purpose behind why he is renovating his home. Joey also worked right alongside us all day. Seeing the intentional and mindful work Joey modeled encouraged our whole group to work with that same intention and mindfulness. Tomorrow we plan to put up sheet rock; and we are excited for another productive day!
Group 2:
Today we worked some on re-enforcing supporting beams underneath the home by installing additional support. We did lots of measuring, cutting, and screwing into place. We didn’t accomplish much in this area, and we plan to finish supporting from underneath the trailer tomorrow.
We also fixed a large hole in the corner of the trailer located in the kitchen. However, this repair ended up entailing much extra work. After peeling up flooring, and cutting out rotted wood, we repaired the corner of the home’s supporting beams, along with some along the side of and underneath the hole in the kitchen. After the area was confidently supported, we were able to use plywood to cover the hole, though, there was a small hole still remaining. We patched it up with scrap wood, but tomorrow, we will replace the scrap wood with more permanent wood.
Here are some photos from our day as well as some candid photos at the school.
