I have worked with several groups, but on April 24th, I worked with one from El Paso. Right here from San Pablo. We had organized one for the youth group on the 24th and then one for the whole congregation the following Saturday May 1st. On the 24, we woke up to a chilly, and not surprisingly windy El Paso morning. It has been windy a lot lately, and I am kind of over it. We met at the mission, had some breakfast burritos and headed out to Sparks where we fixed a roof that was damaged in one of the many wind storms I mentioned above.
As the day progressed, Erin came out to join us and lead the tar crew, although I expect that was her last time doing anything within 25 feet of tar. Another group from a church in Sparks was actually out doing some visiting of neighbors and they wasted no time asking if we needed help and jumping right in and getting dirty. After finishing up the roof, it was off to Peter Piper for some pizza and then home to clean up. Unfortunately the turnout was low for the congregational event the following week, so we just finished up some tiling in the dorm. More on that later. Have a great day.
Getting started
Chilly and Windy
Hanging some new fascia boards
Starting to roll out and secure the roofing felt
Some of the rafters were a little to long and had to be trimmed
That wasn't the easiest task
Allright, got it going now.
More of the roofing felt
Starting to come together. Recognize the home?
Having a little fun
Peter Piper was good, thanks Pastor for treating.
Nice to see that you have been able to stop studying enough to update with several new blogs! I really enjoyed the pictures and story behind this San Pablo servant event! Keep it up -- keep San Pablo growing!
