Mud Scrape

It was an amazing week over all. Spent most of my time up on the roof's this week, except for a little mudding and taping. It was nice working with my crews with only the blue sky and tar black shingles beating the sun and heat back up into our faces. I know it's gross and I'm still working on getting the black from under my fingernails, but shampooing doesn't seem to be helping. Our regular volunteers did cook us up a wonderful lunch this Thursday of hot dogs and cookies. That was a real treat!

The most substantial part of my week however was being a part of the new families receiving their homes at the newly completed De Long developement in Bayview, Daly City. There isn't anyone who could look more proud than the families I saw today, as they came to shake my hand furiously in their excitement. My chest felt filled with cotton balls making it hard to breath. It was that wonderful.
