On Monday we were working at the home of Debbie Jefferson, a woman who ran a family day care out of her home. The storm water left Debbie's house uninhabitable and unable to function as her work place. There is a time factor in finishing this job, as her PODS (Portable On Demand Storage units) must be returned at the end of the week or she'll have to pay for another month of storage. Our crew is primarily doing "finish" work throughout the home, including drywall mudding, caulking, and installing crown molding. Debbie is anxious to return to her normal surroundings and resume her responsibilities to the children she cares for.
Tuesday we worked at the home of Krystal Gains. Krystal (who is pregnant), her husband and 19 month old daughter had their home flooded when 18 inches of water washed down the hill behind their home. Parts of the house needed to be gutted and rebuilt. Today our assignment was to install drywall on the ceilings and walls of the family room/ office/storage rooms. The ceilings are vaulted to approximately 12 feet high, so we used a drywall "lift" to raise the 12 foot sheets high enough to screw them to the wall studs. The process is time consuming, but we managed to get the ceiling in one room, and most of the ceiling in the second room completed today.
