Day 4 | Polly Gerwig

Wow, this week has went really fast. Hopefully tomorrow we will finish Miss Ida’s house. We got most of the flooring laid today, and the guys got some doors hung and trim put up. I think Michelle was just as happy as I was to not have to touch a paint brush or roller. Instead we got to use the miter saw and cut vinyl flooring. It was nice to go to the water this evening and watch the kids having fun. The weather has been hot and humid, but tonight there is nice breeze. I have enjoyed spending time with whole crowd.

Michelle and I just maybe have finished all the painting needing done with rollers. We had a great day despite the humidity. It is great to get to go back to the same house and see how much progress we are making. Tomorrow is flooring, trim and some touch up paint. Hi to everyone back home, this week is going so quick. Hard to believe we only have 2 more work days.

Day 2 | Polly Gerwig

Today we traveled 45 minutes to a small town name Refigo, we primed and painted ceilings and sanded trim. We were a small group today , but I enjoyed getting to spend more time with Michelle, Jordan, Camylle and Heath. I especially enjoyed the drive to and from the job site as we tend to joke and laugh a lot. On the way home we stopped and took pictures of longhorn cattle.

Day 1 | Polly Gerwig

Today, we worked two teams in one house that was built on stilts. I am used to beach houses swaying a little but get 10 or 12 people moving around and painting and putting in cabinets , it was really a moving experience. I was proud of the kids on our teams today, they worked hard without complaining, it was hot in the house but there was a good breeze. I like to think that we got as much paint on the walls as we did on ourselves.
