Day 4 | Jeff Skidmore

Another great day working at Cowboy Joe’s house. We started installing appliances and hanging doors. Everything is starting to come together. It is sad that tomorrow is our last day before our journey home. I think everyone had a great week and lots of work has been done. I got to meet one lady, Linda Castor that told us about riding out the hurricane in a “pod”. She was on national news and her video went viral. Also we all took a trip to Rockport Beach and Sonics. Till next time. Night all.

Day 3 | Jeff Skidmore

Guess what day it is? Hump Day! I heard that all day. Anyway another day in the books and it is still HOT. We framed up walls for a couple new offices at the Samaritan Purse building. It was inside a/c, but still had to do our cutting outside. It was a little relief from the scorching heat. Everyone seems to be doing well and having fun as I hear lots of laughing.

Day 2 | Jeff Skidmore

Today continues to go great working on Cowboy’s Joes house. Details are finishing up and it won’t be long before he is back in his house. I helped install a bathroom sink and finished up shelves in three closets. It has been another great day and looking forward to tomorrow. After more sleep.

Day 1 | Jeff Skidmore

I am blessed to go an another Samaritan Purse trip and this time with Jordan. The two day road trip was long but lots of laughs, even tho I got a flat tire just before arriving to our destination. Today I got the tire fixed on the van and worked on Cowboy Joe’s house. Before I got to his house he was showing me pics of before and after Hurricane Harvey. He lost everything but is so grateful to everyone who has worked on his house. He can actually see the light and the end of the tunnel. His house is close to complete and I am glad to be part of the rebuilding process. It was a blessing for me to work with him and exchange a few fishing and hunting tales. It was a great day #1.
