Tuesday, October 16 -- Pews!

This morning we were taken to a state auction warehouse in Jefferson Parrish (west of NOLA) to help move old courtroom benches into a truck to move them to a warehouse 20 minutes away to be stored until they will be used by a church in Alabama. There were 38 of the 10-foot pews, as well as several pallets of assorted other items that had been bought by a mission organization run by the Church of Christ in this area. We were brought in to help as the organizer for that mission station, and Rev. Moore, the organizer for our station, often trade out help as they have it available. It took us three trips back and forth with the rental truck to get all the pews, but we were treated to some great Po'Boys for lunch afterwards. Then it was back to the house we worked on yesterday for more deconstruction. The front two rooms are now completely stripped down to the studs, and ready for electrical work, and tomorrow we're going to finish the remaining three rooms, and tear out a wall in the bathroom.

Celine made a wonderful speghetti supper for everyone, so the food today has been GREAT!

We'll post another blog tomorrow and add more photos as well.
