It was easy to take ownership of a house, after three days we felt attached to the house. Today we completed the drywall and we finished our three days with Paris and Michelle, the site supervisors. We learned a lot and gained more than drywall skills. We met a SBP home owner, a Katrina survivor. Her story was beyond moving and she was greatful to have her home in New Orleans. Her story about staying alive for nine hours by holding onto a post while neck deep in water tugged at our hearts. But then we had more drywall before we could finish our day. We stayed an extra 45 minutes to help finish and give the job site a good clean-up so the tape and plaster crew can start working Friday.
The evening debrief is alway enjoyable. Maybe not having internet is a blessing, we are talking and listening to each other. The house has no heating and the nights are cold and damp, about 5 celcius. What is better than snuggling in your sleeping bag and talking about life?
