Last Paint Touchers

An early morning ride back to start a week of work with a cup of coffee and sitting for a while is always nice. This week I worked on the last paint for one of the houses, and my awsome crew I'm proud to say finished it all! This week we learned some very handy how to install mud sills, the things that anchor the house to the foundation, they really do screw the whole house down! And finally on slower days I worked insulation backing for the attic panels and a much bigger crew on Saturday to help me out on some rough site work and adding last shingles. It was kind of funny being up on the roof. Of all places, under the sky you think would be the most open place, but trying to drive a single nail in under the roof overhang to the next was nearly impossible and the most tiring thing ever!

More crazy trips all for pictures. Long naps in the sun and waiting for the right sounds to wake me up at the perfect time for another shot!

The Door Painters
It was a perfect week for painting and napping like a panther over scaffolding planks. I take it completely for granted sometimes, but I'm constantly reminded by the other Americorps who aren't from California how wonderful the weather is for the middle of winter. It's nice when paint only takes 5 minutes to dry, and second coats go so much quicker!
