Housing Development Alliance

First Presbyterian of South Boston, Virginia successfully finished their week. They got the walls and trusses up on the new house at the Airport and made a new deck for the home in Knott County. We hope they had a great time helping our community, and we thank them for all their hard work. We hope to see them again next year!

Now, this week is extremely crazy. We have 3 groups visiting us on the same week: Overbrook Presbyterian Church from Columbus, Ohio, Little Cedar Presbyterian from Little York, Illinois, and Hill-Murray School from Maplewood, Minnesota. Grand total, you ask? A whopping 69 volunteers scattered about in 9 work sites. Insane, right? Needless to say, everyone, and I mean everyone is busy this week maintaining the groups. In light of that fact, my blogs are going to be scarce and extremely abstract this week. There is no way that I can report on each worksite in depth every few days. I won't be posting any photos either, but all of them will be on Facebook by the end of the week. I know you must all be so terribly disappointed.

Anyway, this week started off pretty bumpy. Miscommunication, unfortunate-timed rain storms, an asthma attack, and repeated trips to the paint supply store have left us all (staff and volunteers both) pretty exhausted. Cross your fingers for a smoother rest of the week, people. Cross 'em good!
