cummingsngoings: Week 9, Final week in Baton Rouge

Saturday, those who were around went to the Farmers Market in downtown Baton Rouge

Where there were beautiful vegetables

and strawberries so we all bought some of everything.

Now that this week's crew has arrived, we paused for a photo with our fur babies. From the left are Dave, Carole, Jodi with Imoto, Susan, Stel, Paul, Mark with Annie the dog in front of him, Lisa with puppy Dallas and Anne and Max.

On Monday, we prepared to lay the vinyl floor but before we start, everyone wrote a message to bless the house.

Then Lisa and Stel started laying floor while Dave takes in a photo op

Anne and Max (behind the camera) also lend a hand while

Dave cuts pieces as needed.

Paul and Susan prep and paint in the kitchen

while Mark paints bedroom 2.

Bedroom 1 and it's closet are finished but we have a problem in the attached bath.

The floor under the toilet flange in the original building is rotten

so Max cut out the old stuff and put in new subfloor before continuing with the tile.

Anne and Max finish flooring bath 1

Then Susan and Dave add baseboard trim.

After bedroom 2 is painted, Dave, Carole, Mark and Paul install luan subfloor

and Lisa and Stel install vinyl in bedroom, bath and closet.

In the afternoon, the whole crew worked on the floor in the living room and dining area

except for Paul and Mark who attached trim to windows

and repaired some wiring issues then explained all to Dave.

Next day, Anne, Lisa and Carole moved into the kitchen with the vinyl

while Susan, Stel and Max began installing doors

and later were joined by Mark and Paul.

Jodi also make a brief appearance on this official final day of this project and she does some touch-up painting.

On this final day, the NOMADS crew donated food and Richard & his family prepared it as we dedicated the house to the family. (In the center are Richard, his daughter and his wife, Sandy)
