Light at the end of the tunnel?
Wonderful, restful night of sleep. Some guys moved to secret private rooms.
Everyone got a good nights rest. Ready to go this morning, finally had some eggs and meat(sausage gravy), biscuits. Good Stuff!
Traffic is much heavier now in Gulfport on the main drag (Hwy. 49).
Time to and from work site takes considerable time, so early start is very important.
Had to get Brandon (Disaster Coordinator) out of his cozy camper trailer this morning. All the teams were ready to go, needed materials.
Arriving at the work site, within 10 to 15 minutes, Everyone was working, painting, cutting and nailing down under layment .............. no instructions necessary, just git-er-done................
Ms. Stella is under the weather today, didn't see her very much, but thrilled when she made her final visit before we left to return to Gateway.
The camaraderie is fantastic, 11 guys from age 44 to 78 laughing, joking, working. Wonderful!
Joking about our aches and pains, some of our habits that we don't think about, learning more about each other ................... priceless!
Today we finished the underlayment, finished the popcorn texture of ceilings, finished the first coat of paint, sealed ceiling above the furnace, cleaned the windows.
Tomorrow we should get the final coat of paint throughout the home, start working on installing the laminated floor covering in the entire home except for the bath. Ceramic tile will be installed tomorrow.
Hopefully we can finish that by Friday afternoon and then there isn't a great deal of other things to be completed before Ms. Stella will be able to move back into her home.
Other groups are roofing houses, 20 miles north of Gulfport ................... making a difference, as we are, in the lives of people of Gulfport, MS.
Tylenol anyone?
Building relationships with each other, with the people of Gulfport, with God.
To be continued ....................... Peace

Sounds like you're making great progress. Keep up the good work!
Great progress. Anything gonna be left for the "c" team?
Go Team 2 Go! Please tell Estella that we're hoping she feels better. Are you going to paint the outside of her house?
What a GREAT feeling to see such good work going on. Not only the relationship building with Estella but with the teams.
Guys, be thinking about what we could purchase for "Stella" as a housewarming gift. She will need a refrigerator, A.C. unit, many other items.
God Bless all of the volunteers
I spoke to Stella on the telephone this morning (Wednesday) and she is feeling a little better. She was getting ready to take "the men" to Joe's for lunch. She said "there's just something about Wednesdays..." to make it a good lunch day. Wish I had some of his Red Beans & Rice right now! She is in high spirits being able to see the work getting done. Blessings to all team members A, B and C.
This site is pretty well!
