We finished our three weeks volunteering at Port Lavaca on Thursday. Wish I had the foresight to take before and after pictures of the house, but I didn't. We got there, unloaded tools, then started in. By the end of the day we were all too tired to think about pictures. The last two weeks we hung lots and lots of sheetrock, and taped and mudded lots and lots of sheetrock!!! There were other jobs to be done too, like fixing flooring, doing some electrical work, wood siding, etc. but the majority of work at this point on the house was getting the ceilings and walls up and prepped. This house had the roof blown off during Hurricane Harvey in 2017. The homeowner has been living with relatives for two years. We hope the rest of the volunteers can get her back in her house before they have to quit for the winter before Christmas.
The weather has been in cycles. Two or three pretty days, then a
front comes in, then two or three days of cold, rainy, blustery
weather not fit for man nor beast. There were two more rows
of siding on one side of the house that Bill and I wanted to get
finished, but the weather had other plans.
We drove to San Antonio on Friday. Today we went down to the Alamo and the River Walk, ate at the Original Mexican Cafe. Happy to be going home!
