Timber!!!!

Today was a productive day. Team Sheet Rock was busy at the Yellow House finishing up a couple of storage areas so that they could be sheet rocked and putting sheet rock onto the ceiling. Doug officially hates sheet rocking the closet. Mary had a chance to use every power tool in the house and did so with style. She also crawled into a very small space to work...sorry for the fuzzy picture.
The front room ceiling is done and the walls will be "rocked" tomorrow. Bill has been completely enjoying NOT doing electrical work this trip.


Team Ramp worked on putting in the final posts so that the ramp at Captain John's house can be finished by the end of the week. Battling weeds, the mud and avoiding dog "gifts" was challenging; as was working faster than the concrete would set up in mud. Time was taken to appreciate the wildlife. A frog was rescued, mice were scattered from their nest (which had to be moved), cardinals flew by and a hawk came to oversee the work that was being done.

Team Ramp also enjoyed the company of Mr. Ben and Bordie, Captain John's son.

Team Destructo worked to tear down the trailer that Captain John and his son's lived in while waiting for their home to be built. It's not often that we get to destroy things these days but this team tore into their work with gusto. We even have video of the official collapse. This trailer has served it's purpose in many ways but with the mold growing and the floor failing apart, it was better to destroy it than try and rebuild it. Jeff, who rarely gets angry, was particularly angry at the door of the trailer...more specifically the screen door of the trailer. It was Jeff's nemesis and the last thing to collapse on that part of the trailer.

Captain John watched all the activity from his porch, in between throwing out shells for the dogs to retrieve (no sticks in the swamp!) and checking the score of the Saints game...they lost.

DJ, the electrician from Virginia who is working on the Yellow House was happy to join the Destructo Crew. Between getting out of the attic, the sunshine and a little demo work, DJ's smile was big at the end of the day.

If no other pictures get uploaded tonight it's because blogger isn't wanting to upload them. :( And this blogger needs her beauty rest! Another fun filled day of work is ahead!
