THIRD DAY -- WEDNESDAY


At the end of the day, we were in a hurry for showers and clean clothes. Then out to dinner. It had been a long work day.

You can see from the photos posted, that a great deal of progress was made today. Rain threatened, so there was a "hurry-up" mood to get the exterior finished before the storms arrived. Cutting wood, making window trim boxes for trim, building the frame and setting a concrete base for the side steps and more.

Subcontractors on site today were the roofers, who completed shingling the entire roof by day's end.


The final touch and what makes this house really look like a real southern home, is the porch with its white railings. Painted and sanded to perfection. When we stand back and take a look at the finished product of today's work, we are pleased.

I am reading the blog and looking at the photos...WOW. The house is fabulous. It looks like crew chief/supervisor Marie has everyone working hard. I REALLY miss not being there. The pictures brought back such great memories (especially the siding being installed....MY specialty).

Keep up the great work and have a fun dinner tonight.

I love the porch and cannot believe how quickly you all are creating this home!
It reminds me of my little house in New Orleans. Beautiful work!

What a real cute house. We all watched the video today, Sara foewarded it to us. What a wonderful accomplishment, that we PHFH volunteers get to build the 100th house. I look forward to joining the group next year.

Stay safe and God bless you.
