Our time at Michindoh is quickly coming to a close. We are definitely seeing progress as we finished our third week of work but there is much more Rains have definitely slowed some of our outside work. However, there was always “Plan B” when that happens.
The men about have the outside of the house completed. This past week the inside was finished and is now ready for painting (inside work!) and just basic putting things back together. The ladies are still working on the outside of the Calet that they are painting. This week, there was only 1 day that we were able to paint outside. Will we get it done? We did do all of the painting on the siding the men put on the outside of their house and that is done.
It definitely wasn’t all work and no play for us. For our social on Tuesday evening, we joined another RVICS group at a central location for food (ice cream!), fun and catching up. There were 28 of us there and it was great seeing many that we have worked with previously and meeting a couple of other couples that we had only known by name. Also, 5 other RVICS friends stopped by the conference center for a visit. The friendships that we are developing by working and living side by side will last a life time!
Fall is closing in and many of the other volunteers have left for warmer climates. There is just a hint of color but in a couple of weeks it will be blazing with color (after we leave). Deer, turkey and birds are just some of the animals that we run across when we bike or walk.
Before it is time to pack up and leave, we look forward to 4 more days of work and, hopefully, completion of some of the work we have begun.
