Power Washing & Clorox

Today we finished up at Pat's house. She once again had lunch ready for us....we actually traded her our PB & Jelly for burgers & Pizza, what a deal. She said when she eats them, she would think of us.















I decided to go to Cedar Rapids to show the team the homes we mucked out when we were there in July. We went in the 2 homes of Mary's & nothing has been touched since. We drove up & down the streets to view the devastation. Here are a few pics.





























See those dirty stripes on the side of the home in the first picture, that is how high the water was.

From there we came back to Waterloo to power wash & Clorox Ida's home. Ida's husband is in a wheelchair & she is unable to go down the stairs due to bad knees. Her son already had the majority of the stuff out of the basement. They got about 4 foot of water in the basement.

Ida is bashful & didn't want her photo taken.

We are glad to have jobs here in Waterloo for the next few days. Less travel means we get to work longer, Yeah!

Larry & Sonny got to much gasoline fumes today so maybe Charlotte & I will do the Powerwashing tomorrow.



















Charlotte has been a real trooper, and does she ever know how to handle a shop vac.















Tomorrow we will give you some more info on what we get done. The guys are going to join a men's meeting here at St. Paul's, the women's group will also cook them all dinner. I guess I better get my apron ready.
