Housing Development Alliance

First Presbyterian Church from Virginia has finally arrived! Although the group is relatively small (7 people), we are dividing them between 2 jobs. One group is framing a house at the airport. Framing has always been my favorite house-raising phase, so I thought I would help out. Sure enough, I bust my thumb 30 minutes later. Wonderful. I was, or was not, acting like a baby about it. Luckily, our volunteers avoided having a similar fate. The house crew sure seemed to be having fun, despite the severe lack of shade. Clear across to Knott County, the other half of First Presbyterian is helping rebuild a woman's deck and replacing the siding on her home. They almost completed the whole deck yesterday, and have built railings for it today. Despite how fast they're moving through the work, jokes are tossed left and right about who hasn't been working hard enough. It's always nice to have a volunteer group that can maintain a humorous atmosphere while still working hard to accomplish something great. That's all I have for now. We will have more photos to post soon. In fact, we will be adding photos to the group's facebook profile throughout their week here. I have been told that friends and family from the Church are eagerly awaiting for facebook photos, so my intentions for creating the page are finally reaching fruition! Sweet!
