Watch out here comes Debbie!

This morning was early. Really early. Douglas, the Waffle House fiend, had to have his fix so we headed out the door at 7am for a Waffle House run. There are a lot of people at Waffle House at 7am. Three people came in, sat down, waited for 2 minutes for a table and gave up. We, however, did not give up. This was our opportunity for breakfast and so we waited. Douglas soon had his waffle and ate it in precisely this manner:

1. Cut waffle on the crease to expose a triangle.
2. Cut triangle in half.
3. Fold one half pointed end up with knife
4. Stab with fork and lift to mouth
5. While chewing, start procedure again.

If you follow this method you should be done in a little under 30 seconds. Seriously.

Our sites and jobs didn't change much today. More sheet rock at Captain John's and paint scraping at the Yellow House. There was a little excitement at Captain John's house today, though.

Debbie's job has been to crawl up in the rafters after the sheet rock has been installed to put in the insulation. This morning, just before lunch, as she was crawling back over the rafters somehow her shoe caught on a joist and she came crashing down...just as a couple entered the house for a tour! What a welcome! She's got a bruise, a tender elbow and a scrape on her nose but that didn't stop Debbie from getting the job done. She's a trooper! Word has it that her first thought on falling wasn't "This is going to hurt" but "I hope this isn't the piece of sheet rock that had the perfect cut!" Always thinking about the team, our Debbie.

Team Sheet Rock has almost finished with the ceiling. There are only a couple of things that need to be fixed and it's done. They've started on the walls as well and hope to get more sheet rock to keep going tomorrow.

Over at Yellow House we're having a blast with paint! Okay, our shoulders hurt, our wrists hurt, we're starting to develop blisters from holding the scraper and our hands tend cramp in one position but it's getting done! The back is done, one side is almost done and our plan of attack tomorrow is to finish the side and focus on the front. Meggie is a beast with the paint scraper who really, really, really wants to climb to the top of the burn pile. She's almost convinced me. Almost.

Ben says that we can stay another week. Guess we're doing a good job! All the "young 'uns" have headed to bed. Guess I should too! :) Night!
