Weeks 2 & 3, Odem First UMC, Texas



At the beginning of the second week in Odem at Gracie's house, the team painted the siding that was installed previously by the other team.



Sandy painted from the ladder

and Sam painted from the scaffold.

Stel and Dave removed the old storm door


and added framing & trim for the new door


which included replacing rotted  supports between floor joists and a trip under the house.


Lou continued repairing/replacing electrical


Suzanne and Judy planned and placed starter strips for the siding,



Sam replaced the locks on the front door to match the locks on the side door.


After finishing the storm door, Dave and Stel prepped the front for siding trim.



Sam & Sandy helped Jodi with painting the siding in prep for installation,


and Lou began installing window trim on the east side while Sam helped Judy and Suzanne install the siding.


Next day, Lou, Sam, Sandy & Suzanne continued siding installation


and Judy joined Dave & Stel to install the front.




The team on the east are reaching the limit for ladders


so they began moving the scaffold from the west

by creating a trail over the sand.


Then they put it to use.

Dave and Stel have created a "scaffold" using ladders and 2x10's.


There was a delay in the siding installation to replace the mailbox that one of us (not Jodi or me) ran over on the way home yesterday.




Now that's fixed and we get back to work.

Dave and Stel created another scaffold for the high places


but extra safety measures are sometimes needed.

Sam installs the last piece on the east


and Jodi continues to paint siding.


Sam, Suzanne and Sandy are caulking seams


and painting where needed.



While Judy and Dave cut the next pieces,


Stel paints the facia that we installed last year.


Lou installs a new support post for the air conditioner


and at the end of the 3rd week, the siding installation is complete.
