FEW BUT MIGHTY

 Last Friday Scott became the proud owner of this new trailer. It is a lot bigger then his Airstream trailer.
 Jim and Karen had to leave because of a death in the family, so our team for this week was a little small with just 5 of us working.
We started at the house we had been working at last week. Deane and Scott started putting up the drywall in the garage.
 Larry was finishing the windows and Linda and I worked on mudding.
 Before break Mary called and asked us to go to this house and paint.

The rooms had been primed but they all needed two coats of paint by Tuesday.
 We painted and painted.
 And painted some more.
 Even Larry was painting.
 Jordon, a high school student who is helping out this summer, painted.
 I did the cutting in  in all the rooms and any brush work needed. by Tuesday afternoon we had the house well painted.
 Now we have been assigned to help get this house finished. The owner is living in a FEMA trailer behind the house and it has to be moved by July 1st.
 Scott and Deane fixed a step, so we could enter safely.
 No steps to the upstairs.  Scott and Deane put flooring on the top platform.
 Larry worked on putting in the stairs.
 By Thursday the stringers were in and steps and risers ready to be installed next week.
 Pete,on the left, is our construction supervisor, and Stacy, the home owner, came by and discussed all the work they needed us to complete and how they wanted it to be done.
 This door opening needed to be moved over by 4 inches before the door could be installed. Mary (in yellow) is our daily contact person and makes sure we have all the supplies we need each day.
 Scott and Deane worked on moving the opening.

 The door was hung by the end of the day Thursday.
 Linda and I stained all the wood for the trim and frame around windows, doors, and floor, our biggest problem was where to put it all.
 We also stained three doors. We have a lot more to do at this home next week but our team will have a few more hands.
