TPP - Tuesday

Tuesday – today did not seem like Tuesday, I don’t know why but it feels like we have been here longer than just two and a half days!  God has been working in the lives of our students and it has been such a blessing to be working alongside of them.  I don’t know how I forgot to mention in yesterday post but every night here at the project they give out the DuckTape Award to a guy and girl who worked extra hard all day and really poured their heart out at the worksite and our very Own Steven Charlemagne won the DuckTape Award on Monday night.  We were very proud of him!

Today at the work site Madalyn and Willow put up the first coat of paint on the ceiling!  They are very excited about putting the second coat up tomorrow and then doing a little touch up work where a couple of drops of paint may have gotten onto the walls rather than ceiling  but that happens to the best of us!

Vincent and William continued to scrape the rest of the paint off of the wall in the hallway upstairs while Steven and Andy started to prime the same wall at the other end of the hallway and down the stairs.

Joe and Caleb were with me working on the upstairs bathroom, which is actually the only bathroom in the house.  When you walk into this bathroom it doesn’t take you very long to notice that there is no sink and not only is there no sink there is no room to put a sink in this bathroom.  Today started with Joe and Caleb taking out a section of wall to make room for a small sink.  We all had fun taking the wall out and after the wall was out came time for us to frame out a new wall, the funny part about that is that neither Caleb, Joe, or myself have never framed a wall before but we were willing to take on the project, and I am proud to say that by the end of our work day the new wall was framed.  Did this little project take us longer than it should have, yeah I am sure it did but we had a blast doing it!

Thanks for stopping by and checking up on our week with the Philadelphia Project.
