We accomplished much on Day 5. I took my camera to the site, but the progress is not obvious, thus no photos on this posting.
But here are some pix taken by the Habitat folks.
One is of me on the second day, building a wall. Notice the hair pulled back in a scarf, gloves and long pants (despite the ridiculously hot and humid weather), and hard work shoes, all for safety. The white tool bag around my waist is "tres chic". I douse myself with sunscreen throughout the day. Additionally,I stay off ladders and keep both feet on the ground.
The other photo is at drywall training, Debbie does drywall.
We finished the Styrofoam insulation on the exterior. I did much of that. Another crew put the black paper on the roof. Inside, plumbers and pipe fitters installed the two shower/bathtub units and also got the kitchen completely ready for fixtures and appliances.
They feed us well on site. I now understand what "Will work for food" means. One lunch was sandwiches from Jimmy John's, another day was catered by Olive Garden including a choice of hot entrees, bread sticks, delicious salad and teramisu (not sure how to spell that and neither does my computer spellcheck)for dessert, Day 5 was fun dining in the park with union pipe fitters, as we enjoyed Chipotle's savory burritos, guacamole and chips.
It is all very exciting, satisfying and fun.
Stay tuned for more.
