Group 1:
Today we worked on getting all of the staples and carpet pieces out of the floor of the trailer. We cut wood using the table saw and we used that wood to make some walls to put up in the trailer. We also got to learn more about the homeowner and we met his dogs. Overall it was a very productive day.
Group 2:
Today we fixed the hole under the sink, took out the rotten plate in Nova’s room, the rotten parts of some studs, and reframed the wall. Kevin fixed the door, and we caulked all the holes in the door frame and around the new flooring we put in. Then we finally finished the day off by pulling up a bunch of old tile.
Day 4
Group 1:
Today I (Landyn) got the chop saw for the first time, it was so fun to get to learn about all the different tools on this trip. We got a lot of framing done in the house and it was fun to see the house come together for Joey. When we put the sheet rock in it really helped us to see an idea of what the house would look like. Everyday Joey was up bright and early ready to help us. He really knows his stuff and it helps to keep us motivated on days when we feel like we can’t work anymore. We also got to have a “picnic” with all the families each group were serving. I got to meet the family group 2 was serving this week. It was so nice to get to know this family. I really loved spending time with Andrew and the rest of his family.
Group 2:
Today we focused mostly on working in the kitchen, most of the day was spent tearing up floor tiles and the quarter inch plywood underneath but much of the subfloor was rotten so we had to cut holes for the rest of the day.
