This is what our house looked like at 5:30 p.m. Thursday after our day's work!
Work continued on this fourth day with an emphasis on siding the complete house. Two areas were set up for saws, scaffolds ringing the house and so it began. Off to the side another project got underway as a team started to construct a storage shed and set it up behind the house.
By day's end, house siding was complete, caulking done and one coat of paint in place. It had been a long day during which we continued to be attacked all day by persistent gnats. They never let up. And it was also a day with a satisfying end. As I walked towards the van for a return to our accommodations, a man came up. He lives across the street, in a FEMA trailer in front of his house, which is still not livable since the hurricane. The construction of our Habitat house has amazed him. He said, "Incredible and in only 4 days. Thank you." This from a neighbor. Then he asked to give me a hug and so it was that I received a second thank you.
