How Can It Be Raining AND Humid?

Yesterday, the weather couldn't make up its mind about what it wanted to do. Off-and-on showers all day. While the house-building group out in the airport had to call it quits, the others trudged on in Knott County finishing deck rails and siding the home. First Presbyterian of South Boston, Virginia has faced multiple obstacles this week, but each person had a smile all the way through them. Two of our volunteers had to leave do to illness, but they accomplished plenty for us (Thanks for the new sink, Carl!). Some of you might know already, but HDA has bought another Mission Cottage--this one located on the RIGHT side of the church. This new addition, however, requires a bunch of repairs. The rained-out individuals did us the favor of fixing up as much as they could. They bought the cottage a new microwave, fixed the doors, installed bathroom hooks, and planted flowers for the porch.
First Presbyterian has one more day left. The Knott County group has finished the deck (complete with railing and steps) and are very close to finishing the siding. The Airport group has gotten all the house walls up, and are currently putting in the supporting beams. If all goes according to plan, they'll be working on the roof tomorrow. Let's pray it doesn't rain!
