One more day


This was the sunset tonight. A beautiful end to the day.

Team Ramp can see the end of their job. Literally. There are three posts to set, four planks to be put down and hand rails to attach. Hip-hip-hooray! Jonathan and Sammy put a make-shift scaffold together to get to the side of the house that couldn't be reached by regular scaffold. We all agree that just adding a couple of boards to the front of the house makes it look polished and finished...and it's not even decorative!

Team Sheet Rock got an influx of people (Team Destructo) and started rockin' the walls of the parlor. The Pretty House is starting to look like a real house. Bill got half of the archway done in one room and got the nod of approval from Mr. Ben. That's big! Sheet rock is a frustrating job but they are conquering it!

Tonight we are a little subdued, recognizing that tomorrow is our last day...our last day of work, our last day in Pearlington, our last full day in Mississippi, our last day with Ben, our last day with DJ. We have jobs to finish before that happens though and we will press on!

We haven't been taking many pictures but here is a glimpse of our day.

Makeshift scaffolding Captain John's...do you see the cross?


Steven bolting the last of the runners for the ramp.


Doug and Mary cutting sheet rock...look at those purdy walls!


A happy Ellen at the Yellow House


Jeff looks a little guilty or very surprised!
