Last Day for the team in Upper Sand Mountain Parrish

Early in the day, Jan and Cathie met Misty and Lydia at Gary's TV and Appliance store.  Misty picked out a washer and dryer that would be energy efficient and large enough to handle the laundry for her family.  Misty thanked the team.  She and Lydia went back to their home to see the progress.

 






 As it was a rainy day, the team at Jeremy's was awaiting the insulation.  Roger and Jeremy worked together to get another supplier to deliver the insulation.

Since the plumbing was mostly done, by the "Upper New York Professional Pipefitters Ministry"(Pete and John), everyone there worked on the insulation.  The outside walls were insulated upstairs and down by Bill, Carol, John, Pete, Jan, Bob, and Cathie  Jeremy will do the the interior walls and ceilings after we are gone.

We shared lunch inside, sitting on steps and chairs that Jeremy offered.
It dawned on us that it was a good thing that the insulation had not come before because we wouldn't have been able to move around the house.  Insulation takes up a lot of space.

Jeremy also shared his light.  Randy, his brother, stopped by most every day to provide support and see what was going on.  He expressed concern, because medically, he was not able to help.  We reinforced with him that the support he gave his brother was just as important.

Roger found a weather appropriate job for our special team of "highly trained professionals from New York State"  They learned alot during the week.  Jay, Peter, Brian, Bernadette, and Phillipa worked together to install sheetrock on ceilings.  What fun to get to use the lift and power tools.  It makes the job a whole lot easier.

At 3:30 pm we all met at Jeremy's house to have our closing.  Carol presented the prayer blanket from the Burnt Hills UMC.  Jeremy expressed his gratitude for all that had been done for his family.

After posting 422.5 volunteer hours for the week, most of the team left from Jeremy's so that they could start their travels.  Four were heading into probable snow.  Carol, Bill, Jay, Bob, and Cathie returned to Asbury UMC to stat the clean up of the kitchen.   Bob, Jay, and, Cathie had to move their sleeping quarters so that the Fifth Quarter event at Asbury UMC could happen in the Youth area where we had been staying.  Fifth Quarter is an event that happens on Friday nights at different venues in Fort Payne after the football game. We were invited to have supper with the bands and their families.  The Christian rock band, Ohio Avenue, and Pastor Johnny's band performed.  We offered a monetary gift from the team to Asbury UMC to be used at their discretion.  Pastor Johnny accepted it with thanks and said it would be put toward their Bread of Life program at Asbury to feed the hungry.
Kay and Debbie our Southern Breakfast cooks stopped by to say Good Bye.  Hugs were shared around.  Sooo many new friends.  God's love is everywhere on Sand Mountain.
Since we weren't going to be sleeping any time soon, we went to the concert for a while and enjoyed the gathering and the music.
