Tuesday: Today we began sanding the spots that we mudded in our house. Though this was a messy job, I excelled at this and thus enjoyed doing it. What made my day was seeing the result of my work at the end of the day. I sanded two rooms almost entirely by myself and was amazed at what I accomplished that day. Unfortunately this also made me sensitive to design flaws in other buildings I went to from this point on, by this I mean seeing poor sanding or mudding. To end the day our chaperones came up with the bright idea of taking us to a NBA Pelicans game. It was a very interesting game because though the Pelicans struggled in the beginning, they won at the end in close game what resulted in over a hundred points.
Wednesday: I went back to mudding again but unfortunately I had trouble with this job because I had trouble making the mud (either too much powder or too much water) it was hard finding the balance. My day picked up when we started sanding again. Unfortunately this was Allison's last day on the job, so we had to say our goodbyes to her. Wednesday was going to end in a very fun way with some games and reflection activities in the church's rec center but unfortunately the church wouldn't let us in, so I decided to catch up on sleep.
Thursday: Today I worked on putting screw in the walls, taking screws out of the walls and making sure screw holes were even. It may sound like a simple and easy job but this house had a lot of screws. This shows how much work goes into building a house. Afterward we went to eat at the Joint where I tried some of the best barbecue I've ever tasted, I tried great sausage, an amazing pulled pork sandwich and a very well cooked rib, the only thing I didn't care for was the mac and cheese. Afterwards we went to the nearby park and all hung out for a while. Altogether I love NOLA especially the food.
