September 23, 2021 – siding started

It was a cold morning here in Sullivan … especially for us Floridians.    When Joe got up around 4AM, he saw that the temperature in the motorhome had dropped to 53 degrees.     So, he turned on the heat and the fireplace, so it would be nice and warm when we got up around 6AM.

At the site, it was still a bit muddy … but it was certainly dryer than yesterday.   Since it was a sunny and windy day, the ground continued to improve during the day.    After our devotional from a local pastor, Bob gave out the daily assignments.   The goal this morning was to get the interior of the house ready for the mudder to start.   Some of the team checked each screw used for the drywall to make sure it was indented and ready for the plaster.   Joe and I were on the clean-up crew.   We had to make sure all the unused drywall was put outside in a garbage pile, remove everything from the floor in each room, sweep the floors and then vacuum any debris from under the drywall and in the electrical boxes.

Everything inside the house was cleaned before lunch, so everyone moved to their tasks outside.   Joe and I worked with Gene to install a footer board under the front and back doors.  

While we were working on our tasks, the rest of the team continued work on the exterior soffits and started the vinyl siding.

I think most of the team will be siding tomorrow … should be fun 🙂

  1. Did the mudder finish the drywall? You are really moving ahead. You are now into the siding. Incredible progress. What an achievement. Such great planning and execution.
