As you can tell from the time stamp, it’s Wednesday morning and people are moving slower and slower and getting up later and later. I think some are just tired and others have finally become acclimated to the sleeping accommodations. Yesterday was a good day as we moved around and reassigned some people to different locations. I have stayed on the door hanging and trimming and will be hanging exterior and French doors today in Charmane’s house. It finally hit me yesterday that 1 week is not enough. So little time, so much left to do.
We took a drive yesterday along the lake that sits toward the south side of town that inflicted the majority of the water damage. It was a good thing to do because it help us to realize the magnitude of what was left to do. Tomorrow we go to New Orleans to visit areas that have yet to be touched. The UMCOR workers do that so we don’t forget that this project in the South is years away from being completed.
Just a short before I close to say what a joy it has been to have the teens with us. They are fantastic workers and have added a bit of youthful vitality to the effort. I know that they have been working as hard as the adults and still spend the afternoon running and chasing after each other.
