Today was our first day of real work. We met with the local director of projects in the morning and found out about the house that we would be assigned to. This corner house is a two-story structure of relatively small size that was damaged by flood water during Hurricane Sandy. The flood water had reached four feet above the first floor level. Some time after this, the owner was able to muster enough resources to have the entire structure raised ten feet vertically by a contractor, which created a space below for the construction of a rather large garage spanning the entire footprint of the house. Unfortunately for the owner, the contractor botched the job, causing significant structural damage. A Future With Hope has been able to provide the resources to help resolve the issues. The owner is very appreciative of our support. Our job today was to complete some of the work related to the installation and finishing of several windows in the new garage. Your accomplished team of workers was able to complete much of the window sealing and trim work and additionally worked on the dry wall in the garage. Tomorrow we will probably finish our garage assignment and will continue work that was also started on the second floor living level of the house.
We are appreciative of our team leadership and the guidance they are giving to the less accomplished members of the team. God has inspired us with a spirit of cooperation and willingness to help each other out.
