Today was flooring day! We headed out at 7:45am with tool belt and knee pads ready to go.
After our morning prayer from a local pastor, the entire team started on flooring. We used vinyl strips that looked like wood. The strips were easy to cut, either by scoring it with a razor blade or using shears. They locked into each other and did not require any glue or screws to the floor to hold it in place.
Joe got really good at cutting and installing the end pieces. We then got into a groove and started picking up the pace to finish a closet.
At noon, we were treated to a wonderful lunch at a local church. We had our choice of 4 different types of soup, 2 types of sandwiches, chips and a wonderful apple cobbler with ice cream for dessert. It is truly amazing how supportive the community is for our Habitat team.
At around 2:30, we decided to call it a day. The team had done about half of the flooring in the house … pretty amazing! For dinner, we were treated once again to a wonderful dinner of meatloaf, mashed potatoes and amazing desserts made by a local volunteer who used to own his own restaurant. Delicious!
