Friday: Five on the Floor

Five on the Floor
is down to four.

Our Janet is Mexico bound.

It felt good to work outdoors.

The Fisher house front is a new color.

Tomorrow we'll be going home safe and sound.

Then the Blythe home

was our next call.

To insulate all exterior walls.

It was terribly itchy and hot (y'all).

Stood on a chair

and didn't even fall!

Jessie wanted a pizza, (Gumbo "NOT")

So for supper,

Ruby Tuesday hit the spot.

Friday: Al, Andy and the Golden Girls

We worked very hard today to finish projects. We finished tiling the bathroom floor, hung a new shower curtain, and put in baseboards. Dorthy loved it! When she saw it. she squealed with delight. We put in baseboards and 1/4 round to finish the pink bedroom. The floor was prepared for vinyl flooring, hung blinds and curtain rods for privacy. Dorthy can't believe how beautiful her "new" house looks. She is very eager to move back home. Nancy gave her a prayer shawl for her hospital ministry. We will miss our new friends: Andy, Mary and Dorthy. God be with you 'till we meet again.

Friday: The Sweet Teas

Day Five was a great day, 74 degrees and sunshine. Yesterday, the family that we have been working for moved two old couches out to the driveway. When we arrived at the house this morning they had burned them. This was the start of a clean up efforet on their part. A positive sign! The house has gone through a wonderful transformation: new walls, floors, paint ceiling, and a bathroom that works. As we left today, we all hoped that this will be the start of a new life for this family.

Thursday: Al, Andy and the Golden Girls

We accomplished a lot today! We covered the whole back bedroom floor with laminate today and tore up the old vinyl in the front room. We started trimming windows in the kitchen and bedroom, as well as painting more baseboards and window trim. The toilet was pulled up so that we could put down new luon and tile around the toilet. Thankfully it went back in with no real problems. Dorthy brought us catfish dinners for lunch, which were wonderful! We even got to go shopping for some blinds and curtains to help make the house feel more like home for Dorthy.

Thursday: Five on the Floor

"Here I am, Lord!"

Each one prayed,

"Send me out another day."

"As long as it's your will, Lord

Any job is okay

But may we ask- no more floor to lay!"

[Note: God is good! He heard our prayers. He took us from the freezing cold and gave us a warm sunny day. And the best news of all... we're off our knees! "Five on the Floor" met the new challenge of the day & surpassed it. In one day, we scraped, caulked and primed the whole exterior of the Fisher home.]

Thursday: The Sweet Teas

Today was a good day with much acomplished: completing the living room floor, the second bedroom was primed, painted and trimmed. Tomorrow the floor will go in the second bedroom and the house will be basically complete.

Wednesday: Al and Andy and the Golden Girls

God rewards perseverance! We finally finished the first bedroom floor and were able to move the bed in. We finished the stippled ceiling, thanks to Nancy's balancing act on the refrigerator. We laid the first luan for the bathroom and have the baseboards painted and ready for trim tomorrow. We are refreshed in our efforts and happy for the extra hands of Mary and Andy Cantrell from PA. Our lesson for today: All things are accomplished in GOD's TIME!
