We're still unable to post photos -- BORING!!! Sorry, perhaps in a couple of days.
Have arrived safely in Lenoir. GREAT lunch with Malin, Marge (Malin's mother who makes a mean BBQ even if she is from Michigan) & Charlie. We're VERY lucky to have Marge right in town with a shower at the ready since the bathrooms at the Fairgrounds where we're staying in Lenoir are marginal.
Today was our first day "on the job" at the Habitat project. They have 3 houses in various stages of construction. Today was a beautiful day so part of us worked on putting up soffit and part worked on putting roof decking on. Those of us who like to have 2 feet firmly on the ground did the cutting. Our group leader, Harry, is wonderful as is Pete the fulltime Habitat coordinator. In fact, Pete is having us over to his house for a cookout tonight so.... gotta run!
