It was an early start to a good day.The volunteers met at Twin Lakes Pavilion and after a hardy breakfast (provided by the Salvation Army) and a quick devotional, the teams were bussed to their work sites. Meeting up with their team leaders, the volunteers quickly went to work and within a few hours the first walls of the ten houses went up. By lunch, many of the houses had finished up the framing and had moved onto putting the sheeting onto the walls and constructing part of the roofs.
After another hardy meal provided by the Salvation Army, the work continued with more sheeting and such. All the volunteers pushed through and worked hard to put up the homes. Many walls were built, but many more friendships were made.
See y'all tomorrow for more hard work.

I didn't know where to leave this comment, but just wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed the JRCWP. It was our first blitz build and we learned a lot and met some great folks. You at HFH Bay Waveland were so kind and helpful. Everyone we encountered firmed our belief in southern hospitality. Roxanne, the homeowner, is great. A few questions--do you know when/where the house photos with the Carters will be available? Also, there was a woman with dark blonde hair taking photos. Was she with your organization or the Carter people or the International Habitat organizaition? She took a couple of photos I would like to see. Will you be posting any more photos beyond day 4?
