Thursday - February 24

Today's Team Bloggers are Will Kesler and Bryant Hill:

Today started when David turned on the lights at 6:00 in the morning and said a single phrase “Get up.”  We all lethargically went to breakfast to fuel for another long day.  Arriving at the site felt slightly different because it was the third day of working on the house.  Members of the group have developed their own techniques and areas of expertise.  Our goal was to finish all our painting by the end of the day.  And we made it.  We were able to apply two coats of paint to several rooms as well as applying the final coat to several of the other rooms.  We celebrated our great success with delicious Po’Boys followed by a pleasant, long bonding conversation lead by our beloved Meagan Backes.  

After lunch Gerald Morgan, Brett Sottosanti, Will Kesler, and Jim Forde (The super team minus Gerald…. Just kidding, but not really) finished painting the final room and thus completing the days work.  

The day ended at the wonderful home of the Gardeners, where we dined on Mexican cuisine and held a ping-pong tournament. The Gardeners were very gracious hosts and provided a wonderful atmosphere as well as experience. 

Our own "Charlie's Angels."

Spackle King Forde!

Our Synchronized Paint Rolling Team.

Dinner at Carro and Billy Gardner's home was really fun.  We arrived to find a Taco Truck parked in their driveway.  Everyone got to order whatever they wanted and as much as they wanted.  What a great idea!

Spencer was the evening's Ping-Pong champion - much to Will's dismay.

The great and gracious end to a full day of work and fun.
