Most everyone was already up and about by six this morning (raring to go!). Our kitchen crew spoiled us with scrambled eggs and cheese, bacon, fried potatoes and fruit salad. No one wanted to leave.After devotions and our morning meeting, we all headed out to the worksite. The morning was a little disjointed, as we ran out of R13 insulation for the walls, and knew we’d run short of R19 for the ceilings.
A lot of progress was made yesterday, and so I went over and asked Miss Verna Mae if she’d seen her house. She hadn’t, so we walked over together. She was quite surprised at how much had been accomplished in just one day. She is genuinely grateful to God for the work being done.
She told me today that her mother had lived two doors down, and passed away last year at 102 years of age. She and all her siblings had married in that house. She told me that all the girls had worn white dresses when they married, but she was proud that she had worn her cheerleader outfit! She’s a treasure…
She and her grandson will each occupy one side of her double shotgun, and “THAT is why extra insulation is necessary, in the center walls,” she said. “He’s young, and VERY noisy!” She’s quite funny.
More insulation arrived this afternoon, and so we resumed our work. Hanging the ceiling sheetrock continued, and a contest ensued between the two sides – all in good fun. There were extra workers there, installing new front doors on both sides, and other things as well. Well, THOSE boys taught us how REAL sheetrockers do it! Watching someone who really knows what they’re doing always makes it look so easy…Speaking of which, Jim Scott once again took care of a myriad of issues on our behalf, always, ALWAYS simplifying our work, and removing the obstacles from our paths. He is the point on our heads that snags the troublesome worries from our day.
It was a good day, and we are all blessed by the grace of God.
