Johns Island 2009 - Day 1
Posted in 0 comments
Greetings from Johns Island,
After a slow trip down, thanks to Cliff's sporadic driving, we spent the first hour unloading trailers full of supplies. We then ate and everyone went to Home Depot to pick up all of the lumber and supplies. From there, half of us headed to Wadmalaw and the rest of us stayed on the island.
Pictures posted include pictures of the house that Preston Busbee, Cliff Moore and Raiford Collins are site leaders - the team includes Taylor Jackson, Virginia Prioleau, and Lawson Smith and new friends. Preston's house (light blue 1 story house) needs a lot of TLC - replacing siding, re-roofing, adding joists, etc... Quite a challenge. The lady that lives here is blind and cares for herself.
The second house is the house that Winston Collins, Beaumont Smith, and I are working on. It is a two story house that needs exterior paint, facia work, a new front porch built, etc... Our homeowner recently had two strokes and does not get around very well. She is very sweet and offered to cook us all hot dogs one day for lunch.
The brown 1 story house has Austin McCoy as one of the site leaders and Sumter Moore, Grace Graham, Lynda Lovelace, Madelon Kneece, and Mary Sarah Komar. They are replacing the roof, repairing trim, and painting exterior, etc... We did not have a chance to meet the homeowner today. This house has ZERO shade, so think about them tomorrow when it is 100+ degrees on the roof.
The camera will travel with some of the other groups tomorrow so that you can see what everyone is working on.
Thanks for keeping us all in your prayers!
God's Peace,
Brandon
