Atlanta Team Makes a Difference

The week went by quickly with the help from half of the team from Atlanta and Pam from South Dakota. In a total of five days we were able to pick up from the weekend crew to finish the first coat of mud and begin the not so pleasant job of sanding... I know of no one who likes that part of the building process. One thing that helped was that there was little to no humidity unlike the case when I was here in 2007. It seamed like forever but in truth, it took only a little more than two days doing the sanding part of the job. Once the texturing began it was totally up hill(in a good way) from there. The coat of primer was sprayed on and with adding just an hour and a half to the last day the job was complete. On Monday the paint will be applied and we are on to the flooring, trim, doors and cabinets....Guess what then!!! Mable will be able to move back home soon!

Martha, Mabel's daughter didn't have a chance to stop by the house since Monday and I surely would like to be a fly on the wall to see her expression when she opens the door, hopefully this weekend, and sees the progress. I know she is going to be thrilled and that's what this is all about...giving hope back to the family to have a place where Mom is and the family can gather again. What a blessing it will be if we can have this all ready for them to celebrate Thanksgiving Day!

Prayer Request...
The week was so busy that when I was adding to the blog I didn't think at the time to ask for prayer for my mother. She was once again in the hospital with fluid on her one lung. She has congestive heart failure so once again she needed some added care and prayers. This was the fourth visit to the hospital this year, even at 90 she is fully aware of what is going on in her body and called my sister to bring her in. She spent a 2 1/2 days in the hospital and is now back home under the care of family. That is the greatest thing about our family size...someone is always there to help my parents. Dad is 87 and was in the hospital once this year as well.
Please add them to your prayer list. I know that there lives are with God and that speaks for itself... Thank you!
