Spring Break--RVICS Style Part #2






What a difference a week makes! One week ago, it was a pretty white around here and very "cold". As the week moved along the scenery changed to a nice green and we are adding spring blooms too. With temps in the 70's in the daytime, it makes for good working conditions outside. We like this better!
The picture of the stair rails (spindles) above shows some of the work that the men and Don have been doing this week. 3-4 of them have been grinding the rust and old paint from the metal. After work, Don looks like he has been working with coal. The remaining men are making new bannisters to put on the top. They have lots to do!! This picture shows only a fraction of railing on this building. The women started by thoroughly cleaning the chairs in the dining room (yes, there is gum) and ended the week in the laundry folding sheets and towels. We like the variety. This week will find the men and women doing much of the same tasks that they were doing this past week.
As you can see from the traditional group RVICS picture, all of the couples have now arrived and there are 6 of us. In addition to our group, 2 SOWERS couples have joined us in the RV campground. With all of us, we now represent 8 different states/regions of the US. With the warmer weather, we like to gather outside with our lawn chairs to get to know one another in our off time.
Time is flying here and we can't believe that one week of work is done. We anticipate another exciting week of work beginning tomorrow.
