Wonderful Wednesday!

OK! Here's the update for Wednesday at ASP!

Don't touch my Stuff (Chuck and Andrea)

After waking up VERY early, we ate muffins and such. Then we got ready to leave. We went our new house for the first time. We dug six holes and framed the deck and filled the holes with cement. Roy was with us so we measured and leveled everything about 83 times. So the deck is going to be perfect. We had a good day and are looking forward to another good day! (written by Meredith Medlin)

Cellular Phone (Lance and Becky)

We insulated most of the living room and applied drywall as well. We ate lunch with our family, a couple with their 3 year old son and 3 month old son. However, the highlight of our day was when we stopped to get gas and joined the state championship girls' softball caravan as we pulled out. We were hailed as heroes! State champions baby!

A Late One (Lizz and Jan)

We continued working on our 18 step staircase. We left earlier in the morning and stayed later in the afternoon just to try and get as much of the job done as possible. It was frustrating because certain pieces of the wood wouldn't fit in the current spot even though we measured twice and cut once. I played with a little girl and boy today for about an hour jumping on the trampoline. The kids made me smile because they were so happy. Our group is bonding well and we are making progress. It has been a good week so far!

Nacho Cheese (Scott J. and Lynn)

Hi! This is Geordan from Nacho Cheese working in Glen Rogers, WV and we had some bad news when we arrived at our worksite. Our family's mother was sick today so we could not continue our project in the bathroom. So instead, we painted some outside trim and installed two storage doors. Thanks for all the prayers. We're having a great week and a fun time!

Counting Crows (Dave and Wendy)

We nailed all the spindles on the deck, finished 90% or the rail capping, and started on the stairs. Margaret came out and talked to us for awhile. She gave each of us a dollar coin and we got to meet some more of her family. We are looking forward to tomorrow!

Bar of Soap (Chad and Ruth)

Well, we started out the day undoing some of the previous day's work, We then proceeded to measure,m cut and nail boards for the insulation to attach under the house. After lots of time, we completed the insulation project under the house. We also finished the daughter's room and she was jubilant to say the least! We finished our week's work and said our goodbyes to the family!

Alphabet Soup (Debbie, Scott and Kim)

We celebrated Holden's birthday with a delicious lunch at Subway. We completed the tin roof on the back deck. We started replacing flooring in the bathroom. We had lots of nice visits with Miss Barbara.

Welcome Home (Mac and Tracey)

We started the hallway and finished mudding and taping the ceiling and also had the privilege of working with our new youth pastor, Andy. The day began to grow frustrating as we ran into complications with the drywall in the hall and our moods became congruent with the weather as our work came to as close. Leaving a few things unfinished we look forward to completing our work over the next two days.

Candy Cane (Rick, Joanne and Yvonne)

Today we completed a 27 foot support beam under the floor and built concrete support pillars. This was scheduled to take all day but by finishing early we will be rewarded with additional work. The work would have been much easier (and cleaner) if is had not been raining under the house (above us). The hot water heater in the bathroom is rusted out and the bathroom floor is very wet. So tomorrow we will replace the hot water heater and subflooring (possibly). Having a peachy time. All kids are working hard!!!

More tonight!!!
