Today was an outstanding day! We woke up at around 6:00 this
morning. Mr. Brightbill and the crew made scrambled eggs and fried potatoes.
After we ate, Brightbill broke down what we were going to do today. I
(Christian) volunteered myself to work on the roofing for one of our jobs. I
was psyched to try something new today.
On our way to Brightbill’s work site, we stopped by
yesterday’s job to pick up some supplies. We got to the work site at around
9:00 this morning. Our job was to work
with another small group to help get the roofing underway. We had already stocked the roof with shingles.
We started off by tearing of all the old roofing. Next we replaced some of the plywood.
Then we laid down the ice guard and felt paper. After a quick lunch break, we laid
the shingles down on the roof. The other
volunteers and the homeowner were very grateful for the help. 
Today at Mr. Carroll’s work site, we cut the hardened spray
foam sealant off of the edges of the windows. We also had to cut the window
opening so that the window would fit. We then went to a lunch break at 11:00 and
went back to work at around 11:30. Then we built a small wall to support the window
sill. Finally we cut and installed studs to support the wall and the floor
above.
At around 4 today, we headed to the Marina to shower up, eat
some dinner and board a vessel. This cruise was best part of the day! We were
on the water for about 2 hours. We got to see some bald eagles, which was
really cool. We caught a crab and played around with it. The sunset was
incredible and it was awesome to be on the water after dark. Everyone seemed to enjoy their evening.
