DRYWALL UP

 On Saturday and Sunday we enjoyed some of the activities the town has during their famous Toad Suck Daze.

 Yes, they do have toad races. Lots of fun for everyone.

 This week the whole team worked at the house on Otto Road.

 Larry gave a mudding 101 lesson and we started to work on this room that was finished dry walled last week.

 The team from Pine Bluff,  NC finished installing all the ceilings before they headed home on Friday. We were so thankful, so the guys could start installing the walls.

 Pat mudded all the ceiling seams with help from Janice. What a neck breaking job. I taped the corners and edges.

 Pat and Janice were so dedicated they worked right through break.

 I worked with Jeanne showing her how to install drywall in the closets and then she and Annette installed the drywall in the bedroom closets.

 Closets were all dry walled and then Larry showed them how to finish the drywall around the windows. They were so excited with their new accomplishment.

 Billie and Marvin worked together hanging drywall.

 The closet for the water heater was a tight fit for both of them to be working in.

 The bathroom was larger but gave them other challenges. One drill even got baptised in the tub of water.

 Danny and Dave dry walled the master bathroom.

 Those linen closets are small spaces to work in.

 Ruth mudded all the screw holes and then worked on mudding the seams in the closets.

 Scott helped hang drywall and then started putting on the corner bead around the windows.

 How many NOMADS can work in a bedroom at one time? This was the last room to finish hanging the dry wall in and over half the team was working in the room at one time.  All the drywall has been installed this week and many of the seams taped and mudded. It was a good week, thanks to a lot of hard work.

Thursday evening we had a farewell dinner at the Almost Famous Steakhouse and Grill.  The first time we had for a group picture. Pat and Scott, Jeanne and Billie, Janice and Marvin, Ruth and David, Annette and Danny, and Dottie and Larry. Janice and Marvin left this morning headed back to Texas, and Danny and Annette headed to Oklahoma City. Billie and Jeanne head to another project in Clinton, Arkansas tomorrow.  Keep them all in your prayers for they are going to be traveling in areas where the weather may be severe.
