Unwilling to be bullied by a mere wardrobe storage unit, Elaine tackled and tasted victory over the challenging drywalling of a closet at a different house, this time in Long Beach. George, Julia, Troy, and I joined the others from the foundation job in the afternoon to help with a house very close to completed. After the drywalling is done the painting, fixtures and plumbing will be completed and the residents can return to a house they haven't been able to live in for years.

Thanks for all your hard work, St Stephenites. We are praying for your safe return. Elaine, you look beautiful!

This was mudding--is that the same as drywall?
Today we were supposed to go install insulation, but we went to this house in the morning to do some sanding and mudding and it turned out to need a lot more mudding. So they brought in this other crew and we were supposed to move on to do the insulation, but Ammy left me behind because I was her best pupil, and I got to show everybody else how to do the mudding. I can't say I'm sorry to not have done the insulation. I didn't get to finish my closet, though, because when I finished one side of the corner, I couldn't start the other side because the first side was still wet and I'd mess it up. Maybe somebody else will finish it later in the week.
I sent two earlier comments, but the must have gotten lost in the cyberspace between Columbus and the Gulf. Thanks for sending the pictures and the ongoing discussion. I know you all are doing fine work this week, and it is certainly a credit to St Stephen's! Pam and I have been keeping you in our prayers, and we look forward to your return to Columbus.
