Final week in Falfurrias, TX

Our final week begins with painting of the siding.


Jan at work on the side,

Gene at work on the peaks from scaffolding,

Judy working on the front,

Letti is filling holes with foam and removing the excess.
Jodi is trimming excess foam that we used last week to fill holes around the windows.
Dave and Stel set out to finsh building the front porch.


The finished porch.
Jerry replaced the badly leaking outdoor faucet.
Jerry finishing the sealing of the boarded windows
and cutting and fitting trim boards.
On Tuesday evening, the Church threw a covered dish dinner for the NOMADS.

Irma was invited too and joined us for dinner.
The next two days are spent in final touches like second coats of paint,
Installing more trim,
Cutting a new screen door down to fit under the side porch roof,
Adding new house numbers,
Replacing screening in the front storm door,
The weather was cold and rainy so Irma gave us donuts and made hot chocolate for us.  Yum.  We didn't get pictures but the next day she made a hot lunch for us all.  
And now a look at the finished product,
We can't believe this is the same housse,
Can YOU?
Irma and all the crew (except Jerry who is taking the picture).  A project we will never forget.
