Saturday- the NPC Rhino crew and our leaders

Thursday

Studies in concentration.......

Friday

This was a day for tours and touring. In the evening most of us met up at Mulate's for dinner and dancing; we used our newly-learned cajun 2 step skills. Great fun.

Cleaning

One of the many tidying-up tasks we did was to clean and organize the tool and supply containers. Jerra, the labels you did two years ago are still in use and guided us in putting stuff away.

Thursday Paint & Trim Crew

Lots of people painting, prepping, filling, caulking today  . . 

And people installing trim . . .

Wednesday

Surely the photos will appear soon to show the progress: paint brushes have never been cleaner, porches more level, railings so smooth. We are working hard but the weather is beautiful. The final two houses on Ferry Place are nearing completion. With a huge work crew on site, it is amazing that appropriate jobs are found for all and drill-sharing is so far bloodless.
As always, we are thankful for Lauren providing daily transport to Lowes for the after-lunch potty break.
Tonight is dinner with the congregation, which is always a pleasure. Afterwards we will need to practice our cajun 2-step, perhaps in the hotel atrium.
Now to the showers.

2010 - We're back!

As we arrived on our first morning back on Ferry Place in New Orleans, we saw that all of the homes we worked on last year were occupied. Very cool. The block is nearly complete. There are neighbors on front porches, kids on bikes, families being families.

Below Jeremy (now crew chief) is giving us our orientation and safety talk. We'll be installing fascia, soffets, insulation, doors, window sills, door trim, outdoor stairs, as well as painting and other work on two homes today.
