It was a rainy night, but thank God that it stopped by morning. It did make the dirt at the worksite very ‘sticky’. We used our boots that go over our shoes to keep the mud off our shoes. After a while, the bottom of our boots got really heavy until the clumps of mud fell off.
After our inspirational devotional and prayer, we started on the siding with our small team of 6 people. Having everyone outside gives the mudder the entire house to make our sheetrock ready for paint. Since the starter strips were installed yesterday, we were able to make some good progress on getting the siding up, especially on the South wall that had no windows or outlets. By the end of day, we were up to the roof line.
I worked with Gene on the West wall, which was more of a challenge with all of the cut-outs.
With the siding refresher under our belt, we fitted the piece for the back door light. Fit first time :-).
With such a small team, we got a lot of siding installed. It was another productive and safe day. God is good!
Even with mud-clumped boots, your full attention was on the job at hand.
Great job. Look out “This Old House”!
Hope you have some time to relax and put your feet up.
It is so nice to see everything coming together so well! the home is really taking shape! Don’t work too hard! See you soon!
