Work Day Four - Friday
We have had our day of WORK. Pictures of Friday will be uploaded on Monday due to the busy schedule and not having time to post pictures. But here's a little of our day.
Monday we woke up to warm temperatures and a great sunrise. It was sunny and clear and it looked to be a great day. We all loaded up on the bus and headed to a home that had not been lived in for about a year, but there was about three trash dumpster's full of stuff. We started off the morning cleaning out six rooms and tearing off the roof and the siding.
In the afternoon we started the demolition of the house and by 4:00pm we had it down to the ground. It was quite the project, but we were blessed by being able to meet the family whose 101 year old father had his stuff.
Pictures of the demolition will be up on the website Monday by noon.
