Today was our first work day here in Montgomery with WVMAW! Luckily, we all spent the day at the same site, working at the home of Miss Ruby!
Ruby has been living in her house for over 50 years and as you might imagine, after 50 years her home needed a few repairs.
JKPC Youth to the rescue!
Tim Stewart, our site supervisor for the week, laid out the plan of attack for us. We started on three specific projects. We were to rehab and repair the porch and cinder block siding, fix a hole in the kitchen ceiling due to water damage, and update an unfinished attic.
Our group split up into smaller teams and began our work on the various projects.
And so the work begins! Groups are dispersing to their various responsibilities.
Scarping up paint off of the porch.
Wire brushing the cinder block.
The hole in which water damage had occurred.
The covering over the hole was removed and old insulation was cleared out.
Measurements being made for a new covering.
The attic work started with preliminary prep work: remove old nails and organize storage items.
The more intensive work came after: measuring, cutting, and screwing in place a new wall foundation while also installing new insulation. This is all in preparation for laying drywall.
Once the cinder block was properly cleaned, painting began.
The work continues!
But don't worry, we found some time to enjoy our delicious hand packed lunches.
And...
Enjoy some relaxing time together!
Tomorrow we will return to Miss Ruby's to continue our work as we ask, search, and knock for God's presence.
SQUAD OUT!
