Pictures Galore for Day 2!!

Good evening from Texas City, TX!  Today was day 2 on the job site.  Again we split into our work groups to get productive!  We can't properly tell you what all we accomplished today, so we decided to just SHOW you!  Enjoy!
Mealtime is a joyous time...


This is our tool trailer...this is where we get our power tools!  (and our non-power tools...sometimes you just need to get a "feel for the pipe.")



Meet the Interns Day 2:  This is BETH!  Beth always has a smile on her face!  She's a great motivator for the workers and always has something for us to do...even if it's playing a rousing game of Pterodactyl during down time!
The plumbing crew (George, Tom, Brad & Cheryl) fixed a leaky sink drain by replacing the drain.  This is one of the many plumbing tasks that they've been working on (note:  the mess at the wall was NOT our handywork...that was already there)
The crew from FCCBRLA decided to get their hands dirty and wash the dinner dishes after tonight's dinner!  We even sang "I'll Fly Away" while we worked.  It was a hit!  


Brad screwing the new utility sink to the floor!  
The crew at the Matt and Sharon house. Laurie, Jacqueline, Amy, Andrew, Kenny, Dustin, Blake, Judy, Andrew and Blake spent the day nailing up plywood and Tyvek.  (Notice that Andrew has tried to make his grandma's hat look cooler...the jury is still out...

Elise, Carol, Lucy, Amanda, Kate and Chaz hung drywall at FCC. 
So suave...
Go Amanda, go!
Oh, how we LOVE water breaks!
Dustin, our caulking king!
and our queen :)
See, told you Michael...this was not photoshopped!

We're having a great time and getting a lot done!!  Keep checking back!  And keep the comments coming!  We love to hear from you!

Peace, 
The Galveston Mission Team

...I think it IS...surprisingly... a pretty nice improvement on the hat...

Everyone and everything's looking good! I'll admit I'm more than slightly envious of the good times and good fellowship y'all are having. The plumbing looks expert, by the way. :)

besos!
(p.s. note the expert use of "y'all")

Hold the calories to 1400 a day. Take care of your diets. Don't end up a fat old man like me.

Its nice to see that Andrew is learning to use tools - things that he had access to all of those years but never chose to use. We have a lot of projects around the house just waiting for him in July:)

We love reading the blog and seeing the pictures. Enjoy the rest of your trip and have a safe journey home.
