What A Day !

Today we helped 3 homeowners, all in the Cedar Falls area. The 1st stop was a large basement that needed power washed & Cloroxed. See the photo of our homeowner Mary & some pics of us working. Larry & Charlotte started out by bagging up a mountain of clothing that the Mary was washing to be sold at a rummage sale.
We all were experiencing bad reactions to the gas fumes from the power washer today. Headaches, lightheaded, dizzy and even shaky. I thought we may even have to call it a day by lunchtime, but from the next photo you can see that despit our symptoms, we were all still able to enjoy some Mexican food for lunch. Check out Sonny's plate, then check out all 500 or so of the Marionettes (puppets) hanging from the ceiling.Next we did some odd jobs at Arlene's home. Here is her photo. The Lord knew we needed an easy job away from those fumes. Arlene had her basement under water & a few inches in her 1st floor. Another team from World Hope came to her rescue along with her family. Some paint, carpet & touch ups & she will be ready to move back in. From there we power washed a small barn that had a foot of water in the loft area. We will be there again tomorrow painting and repairing the sofit. We may also help unload a truck of food & other supplies at a local church.
