Project 4 - Walls put up by Cameron MDS volunteers
We have again had a good week of work and are pleased with what was accomplished.
We can see the end coming at Archie's home - Project 1. John and Paul laid most of the linoleum flooring on Wednesday and Thursday. It is all lino, with no carpeting. The "cowboy (living) room" looks very nice. The light knotty oak laminate-look lino is very complementary in the "red room". The only rooms remaining to be done are the laundry room and bathroom.
There is still a bit of siding to be finished at Project 2 and then we are done for the time being. The owner does not have funding in place to provide material for us to do any further work there.
Project 3 - Leroy's house - the siding has been completed; ramps are framed for the handicap entrance and railings are up on the front deck. This was completed by Bert, Len, Maurice and Jake.
Project 4 - Short-term volunteers from Ontario and Manitoba with the Cameron group put up the walls and the roof. They travelled here from Cameron over the Ferry every day.

On Wednesday at noon, Leroy, homeowner of the second project, came over and showed us the way to the place where they have been living (several blocks away). His daughter and daughter-in-law had prepared a wonderful meal for all 12 of us in appreciation of our assistance. There was enough food there to feed an army, and it was all very tasty. They had a few local dishes, but mostly it was regular food we all eat.
On Thursday evening, our group had a farewell for Bert and Doreen, who were leaving for Arizona. We had all been blessed by their presence among us. Doreen certainly livened up the atmosphere! We don't know where the month has gone!!
We look forwarding to welcoming the new interim Project Manager and Office Manager, and three other new couples in February.
