The last day working at Beth's House

Today was our last day working on Beth's house on veronica street where we have been working all week. We have gotten many things done such as Drywalling, Mudding, corner beading, and sanding. We have gotten very emotionally attached to this house and were sad to leave. It's amazing to see the progress gabe and the babes have contributed to the house in such a little time.

We were very happy with the work we did. Us three plus Marit and Lee made an AMAZING team. By the end of the week we could've opened our own business we had drywalling down to a science. The room started off as a room with wooden studs... now its a living space with walls covered in mud. The grey stuff, not dirt.

Today we finished up all the last mudding, and then sanded... we hate sanding and we never want to do it again. Our poor arms were about to fall off, and even though we were wearing a suffocating mask and goggles our lungs were quickly being filled with dust. Again we repeat sanding is a not a fun process do not try it at home. However we still liked the feeling of accomplishment @ the end of the day. We had a half day today and after coming home and taking showers we went to see Hurricanes on the Bayou at the Imax theater here. Molly and Gabe think it a great movie. However, Caroline thought the movie could have been better presented (by focusing less on alligators and more on the hurricane.)

It has been a really fun trip so far, and we are looking forward to our last day working tomorrow, this time outside at a park.

Peace Out, Caroline, Molly and Gabe.
