Final Week in Falfurrias, Texas

This week we finished 3 projects.  First is Josefina's house, then Gilberto's house and finally we finished remodeling the vestibule bathrooms at the church.

Roger and Dave have straightened the shed and are adding a new roof and replacing the siding.

Roger and John continue cutting siding pieces for the side and rear.

Of course, the weather turned bitter cold and windy but Max and Dave bear the elements to begin construction of the new back porch and steps.

Rita, Anne and Dave adding the joist.

Rita and Anne are cutting boards for the deck of the porch while Dave and Roger continue work to put a door and the rest of the siding on the shed.

Diane, Rita Anne and Dave add final touches to the porch railing.

At the end of the week, the finished the end of the house and

the finished rear.

The group gathered to present the homeowner with a Bible signed by the entire team and to bless her house.

Meanwhile back at Gilberto's house, vinyl installation continues and

this is the finished kitchen area.

Anne and Rita are prepping the laundry area for tile and

this is the final result.

On the last night of the project, the church threw a big party for all the NOMADS and the "Winter Texans"  (Sr. Citizens who head south for the winter who support this church each winter.)

It was a really big crowd and we all had a great time.

And finally, this is our team.  By couple from the left are Diane and John, Rita and Dave, Jodi and Stel, Anne and Max and Bev and Roger.  It was a wonderful 3 weeks and a wonderful team.
