Hi, Elliott here after the third day we finished the work on Brian's house. The other two days I worked outside on a emergency exit ramp and tarring up the roof. Today I painted and taped the hallway and the living room. The entire operation was very strenuous on all of us. By the end of today my neck was super sore. Tomorrow we will find out what our next short project will be. See you when we get back.

Hi people, Anthony here. After three days, we finished all of the work at our first site. I have gotten so much paint on myself these last three days, but I guess that just happens when you have to sit on top of the fridge to paint. It's been a fun couple of days, but also pretty long. We have spent a bunch of hours at our first site, and tomorrow we'll move on and see what we can get done in our last day of work. I guess I'll just have to wait and see how that goes. So, there's my update, and goodbye for now.

Hi we're Ricky and Christian. We worked on the roof from 9 til noon today. We put roll roofing (similar to shingles) on the roof of Brian's porch and secured it with tar and nails. We placed thick lines of tar onto the already laid felt paper and put the roll roofing on it then hammered nails into it. The nails had to then be covered in tar to prevent leaking. Once we were done the roof, we went inside to paint and re-place the blinds and curtains that had been removed for painting. We finished painting the ceiling and walls by the end of the day. After we cleaned up we said bye to Brian and drove back to the church for dinner.
