The group from Madison Cares gets a "Tool Box Talk" on safety. We had a great day today. Breakfast at 7 and the job site in Gauthier a bit after 8. First job was sliding metal strapping that goes under the (bolted down) sills and then is nailed to the studs - keeps the home from floating or blowing off the slab.
Everyone's hammering skills are coming along nicely. Dwight and Maureen did the same strapping connecting the top of the 1st floor to the studs below. Made more "jacks" that support windows and doors, completed more interior rooms. Build the backyard shed from slab to plywood roof. Slapped on the door, put our ladders and nails inside, then locked 'er up with the key that came with the lock set!
Everybody has sore legs but dinner out tonight (Chilis) helped make us feel better. Now we are watching a documentary on the Katrina destruction in Biloxi made by the local TV station -WLOX. It was awful here, water chest high for miles inland.

Everyone's legs were tired at the end of the day.
