Popcorn Anyone?
Monday morning, slow start, some complaints, all about snoring, that is, others snoring.
2:30 wake up call, thought someone with a chainsaw was coming through the door. One slept in the hallway to avoid the noise. Didn't work he moved too close to the other room of sleepers(snorers).
Up at 5:30 a. m., light breakfast, not to our liking..............MEN need meat and aigs, and biskit.......... not beagels .... bagals ...... begals ...... gaggels ....... cereal .......... muffins? Cream cheese? Decaf?
You have got to be kidding...........Oh well it's all for the Lord, we shall survive.
Greeted by Stella when we arrived on Henderson and 19th.
At first the guys were hesitant to grab tools and begin working at something they were comfortable with, but then a few had to do things they had no familiarity with.
R & R brothers, Rodney Thomas and Roger Swatzell began to popcorn texture the ceilings, never having laid eyes or hands on the apparatus before today.
Start slow then sped up as the day went on. Starting in back bedroom, through the bath, utility, bedroom, bedroom, kitchen.
Will finish popcorn texture of living room tomorrow.
Painting begins in earnest tomorrow. 2 guys to each room, 2 laying the underlayment for the laminated floor.
All cabinets and range out of house in the junk heap to be hauled off.
Ms. Stella checks on us regularly, about every 2 hours. Seems that everything is to her liking.
We will paint entire house with 2 coats by Wednesday afternoon.
Hey team C, how about installing cabinets, countertops, small land final items before Ms. Stella moves in?
Praise the Lord, We Can Do This...................................WE WILL DO THIS. (PERIOD)
To be continued ...
Peace

Y'all need that great breakfast crew from Cassidy UMC, Kingsport, Tenn. They were great folks to cook breakfast with (hot food every morning.) Maybe you can recruit a couple of people and throw some sausage and pancakes together. Those griddles they have work great!
Hey Guys!! Don't overdo the popcorn texture. Be sure to keep the nozzle about 2.5 to 3' away from the ceiling so that not to make it to heavy. Check the utility room about how to apply it to thick--it cracks. Hint from John, the constuction manager!!!
Also check about the cabinets, Stella was told that the cabinets could be refinished. It does look really bad. What about buying new cabinets or making new ones--Ron knows how to do that!!!! Check with Stella about that. Funds are getting small for her now.
Take care John 3
Y'all let us (the "c" team) know all about the cabinets, funding,etc.
Sounds like things are progressing well.
Take care,
P.S. Ear plugs in tool crib.
Hey, Team!
Grateful for your safe travel. Can't give you much advice about the work. All I can do is swing a jack hammer, tear down a wall and then clean up the mess. Guess that's why God gives us different gifts.
Now,I CAN help you learn to spell begel...uh...bagal..hmmm...Just spell it the way it sounds!
God bless you all,
Joan Hoffman
