Week 8 in Baton Rouge

Our Team for Week 8 from the left are Max and Anne (returned for another workout), Stel & Jodi, Lisa and Mark (also returned for another workout) and Carole and Dave, team leaders.  Jodi is not going to the worksite these days but she remains a part of the team.

Dave is sanding and prepping the master bath for painting and Lisa begins painting the walls in the old section

and the new section.

Stel repairs a seam in the ceiling of the master bedroom.

Anne sanding drywall in bedroom 2 closet and

then applies primer.

Stel mudding second coat on joints in bathroom and 

then appplies texture to the ceiling.

Mark is mudding joints in bedroom 2 ceiling with Dave overwatching.

Mark and Carole begin applying texture to bedroom 2 ceiling and Anne keeps the supply of mud available by mixing and filling paint trays.

The final look of texture process and

the final look of Mark after texturing.

Lisa moves on into the Master bedroom to paint while

Max and Dave install Luan in preparation for floor coverings.

Max's first attempt at using leveling compound to smooth out doorway transitions for floor covering and

he learns how quickly it gets hard.

Lest we think we will have nothing to do, the coordinators show up with some supplies

and a whole skid of vinyl click tile for the floors.  Something to look forward to.

Lisa has moved into the living room and dining area to paint

and then moves into the kitchen

Max has installed light fixtures and smoke detectors 

and Dave installs outlets.

Since the siding is complete, we tear down the scaffolding for return to the Disaster Response Center.

On our final night on week 8, the church threw a pot luck dinner for all the NOMADS and the Volunteer in Missions crew from Colorado.  It was a good time of food and fellowship.

See you next week.
