Winding Down

First-timers Anna and Brian with Earl

This might be the first time we've had three generations of one family join us on a mission trip, but I have a feeling it won't be the last!



Earl celebrated his 75th birthday yesterday, with cake for all.

In the interests of full disclosure, I must include a few images from our excursion to New Orleans.  Disclaimer: There may be others but they may have to "stay in New Orleans," as they say.

This morning dawned cloudy with showers predicted throughout the day, so some work has moved inside, but the goal is to finish the siding by day's end.  The roof is complete.

We installed a new front door (on Monday the house was sagging so much the door wouldn't even close). 

By 3:30 all that remained of the siding to be mounted was a section in the front, and it will be done before the crew shuts down for the day.

 It's a bit hard to see from these photos, but the house has been nearly transformed this week.
