From dark wood studs to all walls (8 rooms, hallways, and bathrooms) enclosed with Sheetrock - what a sense of accomplishment and teamwork and fellowship. 33 large boxes of flooring arrived (about 15 lbs each) and we all (yes all) set up a "bucket brigade" to get the boxes quickly from the delivery truck blocking traffic on the one way street. One person waiting in the traffic hopped out of his truck to help and said "are you all volunteers?" And when we answered "yes from Massachusetts" he said "God bless you all and thank you." The neighbors on the street are fascinated by watching us carry 12 foot Sheetrock panels and going in and out with our tool belts on and clothes that get more dusty and dirty as the day progresses. One of the neighbors commented how they can see how well we work together and bond (his word).
So thankful for this opportunity with Hancock folks and our wonderful crew chiefs Charlie and Tim (both from Minnesota) who have been doing this work for many, many years! They bring a sense of humor, eagerness to teach us when applicable, and are incredibly hard workers and very skilled. We are so fortunate to be teamed with them!! And last task of the day was mixing and spreading floor leveler - while mixing Stewart commented "when do I had the chocolate chips?" as the mixture looks like cake batter. Such joy to get to work together!
We end the day tired and sore yet so grateful to be here!
