Hammerin’ in the Delta


Wednesday

Today in morning devotion, Charlotte made reference to both Moze Allison and the Muppetts. Not a bad way to start the day.

We will be working on mudding and taping today, as well as finishing the woodwork, which includes louvered doors. I hate louvered doors! I will try and stick to mudding and taping.

As of noon, there has not been a lot of mudding and taping, but quite a lot of progress in the woodwork, including the dreaded louvered doors.

As is often the case, we are working on a couple different houses, though in this case, most of the work is going on in one and the other is being used for storage and as a workspace. Here is the soon-to-be owner of the latest house, accompanied by her mother and grandmother.

Ariel will be moving in shortly. Her mother Yolanda on the left and grandmother Emma on the right live in other Habitat houses in the subdivision.

By this point, just about all the cabinets have been hung. Dino and Maryse are doing some touching up on the ones in the kitchen.

The staining crew has been busy. Jim and Charlotte have been working on closet doors.

Lorenzo and Kristin have been moving shelves and doors and whatever else all morning.

Meanwhile, Jon, Ed and Andy have been hooking up all the electrical connections.

Here is a ceiling fan installed by Jon without an H. I understand that it wil play an important part in the sign we post at the end of the week.

JD predicts that the house should be done soon, perhaps by next week. Appliances need to be delivered and installed, a gas line needs to be connected, and the city will have to approve everything, but Ariel should be able to move in soon.
