Tuesday: Dancing with Trees
This morning we got everyone together for a quick picture before heading out. (It’s a little small. Here’s a larger version.)
Today was another very fun- and work-filled day.
Project updates:
The Depot project is coming along. We can’t seem to find any pictures, but the reports are that most of the scraping and priming is done. Due to a mixup, we won’t actually have the paint until Thursday morning so we’re getting everything ready so we can really hit it “in ernest” then.
A job we’ll be on all week involves doing many odd jobs around a couple’s home just outside of Frederic. It includes (1, Crysta, who’s so pro she doesn’t even need to look at what she’s doing) staining a deck, (2, Katie supervising the chainsaw) cutting down trees growing too close to the house, and (3, Kali) scraping a repainting.
Another group worked to clear furniture, valuables, and trash from an old house that is going to be demolished. The below picture shows several of the guys taking care of the bigger pieces of furniture in the attic. Since the house is coming down anyway, we just cut out a large hole around the window and passed things off the roof or lowered them with a skid-steer.
After a energizing dinner at St. Dominic’s it was off to help out with VBS. Many of the HFAers are also on the puppet team and play a big role in the opening and closing programs of the night. It can sometimes get a little tight behind the stage…
Today’s random shot is Jimmy eating a sucker. Yup.
We leave you with what is widely considered to be one of the best bits of media captured today:
Sunburn. Neck. Ouch.
