Jenna and Shelby

Happy 4th of July! Today was only a half day of work. When we arrived at our work site, we immediately began working. We touched up the kitchen floor that we had grouted the day before. Then, Jenna grouted a small utility room and cleaned the excess grout off the tiles. While Jenna was working on that, Shelby helped to put up the front porch rails. After completing these jobs, we finished up odds and ends jobs, such as painting the window trims. Today Rita, the homeowner, bought our work team po' boys, which are just like subs, for lunch. She had also bought us lunch yesterday, and will bring us lunch once again on Thursday. She has also offered to make dessert for the entire camp for Thursday. So far this week, we have accomplished a lot throughout Rita's house. As aforementioned, we have grouted the kitchen floor and utility room, and trimmed the windows. We have also began to put up the front porch rails, the basic outlets, and painted the walls, doors, and window trimmings. In addition, we cauked and puttied the window trimmings, after Carolyn and Bob installed them. For the rest of the week, we plan to put up the air vents, finish the porch railing, and seal the grouted floors after buffing them. Once the kitchen floor is sealed, we will be able to move her cabinets from her bedroom into the kitchen. We desire to do this so that the next work team can work on her bedroom, so that the house will be that much closer to move-in day. We plan to finish her chairs on her front porch as a gift of gratitude for all her kindness towards us. See you soon, Jenna and Shelby
