Week 2 in Pensacola





After a week of work, we had some play time and for a Navy Brat like Jodi, that means one thing.


This place has every kind of Navy plane from the beginning of flight to the present.

We also saw the Pensacola lighthouse,

and Fort Barrancas.


Then it's back to work.  Our group continued work on Delores' house with the help of new team members Don and Paula.
Paula began grouting the "groutable" vinyl floor in the kitchen.

Don fixed the outlets and replaced covers in the bedroom where the flooring was installed last week.

Marsha did touch up paint on the baseboards that were installed last week.
And Calvin cleaned out the tiles on the living room steps to prepare for grout and he rounded the edge of the tiles so it was less of a hazzard, especially for older folks and grandkids.


Stel worked to finish installing the groutable vinyl tiles in the kitchen pantry closet.


After we moved furniture from one bedroom to the other, Don and Marsha started installing the laminate floor.


Pat and Gary came to visit when they finished the house they were working on and we put them to work hanging the bifold closet door.


And Jodi painted that door to match the room.



After the obligatory "caulking" of the last bit of baseboard,

We were ready to present the house to Delores and give her the Bible all the NOMADS had signed for her.

The next day, the entire team moved to a new house project because the entire house had been gutted after the flooding.
Sara was designated to mud the screw holes in the drywall.

Jean, Gary, Pat and Marsha installed drywall.


Stel and Jodi tore out the old bathroom framing to prepare for the new walls and make room for electric and plumbing intallation.



Don and Paula installing drywall in closets.


We also taped the drywall  and in the bathroom we began installing the wiring and supports for the drywall with plumbing to come later.  NOMADS will be working in this house for weeks to come.

As of this writing, Stel and Jodi are headed from Pensacola to Tucson, Az.  The weather is much improved as we write and roll "on down the road".

Talk to you soon........
