First Work Day

 Last night, we attended the welcome pot luck for Habitat.
It is a nice group of folks with several people that have worked on builds here in Las Cruces before this.  One couple has been here eight times.

 

 We reported for duty at 7:45 AM this morning.  Yes, I said 7:45.  The build is from 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM  Tuesday -Saturday.  Today we hung sheet rock in a house.  We started with the ceiling.  Can you say really sore arms and shoulders?

I would say we got better than 1/2 way, on the house today.  The house is a rebuild.  It burned last year and the goal is to get the family back in by Xmas. The picture on the right, is the first couple of pieces my crew put up.  I spent most of the day on the screw gun.  Catherine did a bit of everything-marking the floor for all the vent and electric box cutouts, measuring, cutting, and using the screw gun.  
It was a good day.  The group is really fun.  We are going to met up with them now for happy hour and I will run up to see my mom for a little while.  
 See you down the road....
