"Do small things with great love"
Today we started our renovations on a local low income apartment complex. There were a lot of jobs to be done - putting up dry wall, priming, painting, weedwacking, landscaping, and sanding. Luckily we have an eager and willing crew.
When we first got to our jobsite, we split up into teams of sanders, primers, drywallers, pumped up the music, and started. Some apartments had been worked on previously, so they all needed different jobs. Each person spent most of the morning learning and mastering one job. Closer towards the end of the morning we started changing tasks around, and realized we needed a weedwhacker.
We broke for lunch soon after, and went back to St. Andrews in the vans. We had spaghetti, caesar salad, and pudding for dessert (Jeni was going to throw it out, but Drew demanded a taste test) ^.^ Shortly after we headed back to our jobsite and picked up our work right where we left off. Four hours and many band aids later (just kidding) we left a decent looking apartment complex and returned to the church for a relaxing evening.
Stay tuned for our next update tomorrow: Day 2 Renovations!
