We worked in Forest Heights again today, on a house that our group worked in the first 3 days of last week. Forest Heights has 40 houses that Lutheran Disaster Relief is supposed to have done by March, 2008. Not likely to happen unless more volunteers come down to help. If anyone is interested in helping here in Biloxi, please call Camp Biloxi 228-297-2536. We made lots of progress today, all the walls are painted, all the trim that is up (windows and closet door frames) is painted, the electricians did lots of wiring, and put up 3 ceiling fans(they have 3 more to go). H did all the odd jobs to keep everyone moving. The tilers will be there tomorrow, we hope. After they are done the place will still need baseboards, trim around the doors, cupboards, and plumbing. But, every day you can see a big change. I mainly painted today, but I needed to sit down for a while, I put ceiling fans together for the electricians.
We had 4 inches of rain in Camp Biloxi yesterday. It was hazy this AM, but then the sun came out later AM. Beautiful day.
Tomorrow I will be back in the free clinic, not nearly as physical as what I have been doing.
