Getting Down to the Wire

The sun came out again on Thursday, and everything went into high gear. The Oak St. Gang finished sheet rocking the entire house; Doug will need only 4 workers to put on the finishing touches Friday. Amazing productivity!!


Jim's crew returned to Fountain St. to begin putting up the new siding, and hope to finish 2 sides by end of day Friday. That also has been a huge job, stalled by Wednesday's rain.


By noon on Thursday, one room on Seal St. had been completely taped, mudded and sanded, and several others were mostly done.  Good progress will be made on this house, but there is still much to do -- and work has already been underway for a year! Unlike installing siding, it's hard to see progress in this kind of job.


Back at BBM, the kitchen crew began the process of cleaning up our living areas. Before we leave at the crack of dawn on Saturday, we need to leave our quarters reasonably clean for the next group of campers coming in on Sunday.


Thursday is our traditional night out, so we crossed the bridge to Ocean Springs for dinner at McElroy's.  It was a good thing they put us in a private room, because there was much merriment....we would otherwise have been "those obnoxious people" disrupting other diners' peace and quiet.


Despite the long day and another early morning on Friday, some of us stayed up past midnight playing Setback.


Some photos of our work so far...
