Sheetrock that is. The progress continued today at the DeJean house with the arrival of additional materials, including wall studs, floor joist lumber, windows, and sheetrock. The size of the early group seemed to double this morning as more of the volunteers wanted to get an earlier start.
Once at the house, work began promptly as everyone just knew what needed to be done and picked up where they left off yesterday. Within a couple of hours, several people were running out of work and really needed the material delivery to arrive. The delivery arrived in the late morning and by lunch, the sheetrock on the ceilings was complete for half of the house. The ceilings on the other half of the house are not available yet to install the sheetrock, so after lunch the sheetrock team began installing sheetrock on the walls in the back bedroom area. Most of the floor joist repairs were also completed today – I believe only one joist remains to be repaired before flooring replacement can begin.
Based on today’s progress, we remain optimistic that we will complete most if not all of the wish list goals we set. Check back for tomorrow’s update.
