Just Hangin

Day 1 with HopeForce took us to Jewels home. She is 80 and lost her entire home. Our job today was to put up all the 12', 5/8" drywall on the ceilings. You wouldn't believe how our team worked together! Most of us have no experience and yet Susie was holding up sheets, Beth was using the rotozip and cutting sheet rock like a pro. Marcia took the measurements and kept Tom on the ball hanging drywall in the bathroom and putting up the blocks in order to eventually hang cabinets.

Lenie of course is the pro and I tried to keep up with him ( a nice way of saying I was his lackey).

Craig, the leader of the group said he had never had a more productive group hang drywall or had he seen as much accomlished in one day! Tomorrow we finsh the entire house and the other team will go to another house. Well, a good shower, dinner and a handfull of Ibuprofen and we're in great shape. Enjoy the pics - keep praying for us and we'll talk again tomorrow.
