New SWEAT Team Projects

SWEAT Teamers,
I have neglected to mention our Wednesday group on the blog. We do projects on Wed. mornings and have a great team. Allison Kami and Artiz Stroud are the only ones who specifically come out on Wed and are an important part of the team. The last couple of Wednesdays we have helped Mona Knight with her flooded home with tearout and clean up, and the next step is to put the walls back up. Saturday we go back to Masch Branch Rd for wheel chair ramp work, tile work, and doors. Bring carpentry tools, saws and drills.

SWEAT Team Projects

SWEAT Team Projects,

We got a good start on the Bickham's house (1401 Masch Branch Rd.) on Saturday. We got the posts in for the wheelchair ramp and got the tar paper on the well house. This Saturday we hope to shingle the well house and get most of the ramp completed. Also, Tracy Martin will be helping a younger guy who uses a wheelchair build 2 small ramps at his house in Corinth. We had a great time with a new volunteer on Saturday, Matt Hart, please welcome him when he comes again on the 19th. As usual, we meet at the SWEAT Team office (702 S. Locust) at 8:45am and go till noon.

Thanks for your hard work,
Dave Ferree

SWEAT Team Project

SWEAT Teamers,

We have another great opportunity to help a really neat family; Lynn's house on Navajo was finally completed. The new family at 1401 Masch Branch Rd is near Luke's house. Both Parents are in poor health; their daughter was in an accident recently and is bed ridden.

The really terrible thing that happened to this precious family is that a carpentry business scammed them out of a lot of money and did a shoddy job to boot. As far as work goes, we will be roofing on a water shed, window framing, flooring, and tub/tile work. Tools needed are battery-powered drills and circular saws, frame squares, and trim nail guns. If you don't have these, bring regular carpentry tools.

Show up at the SWEAT Team office (702 S.Locust) at 8:45am and we go till noon. It will be cold, so bring appropriate clothing and gloves.

See you Saturday, Dave
