Day 4: a double dumpster day

today was a quick stop at the rental store for scaffolding, then on to mt. zion for a very full day of scraping floors and walls, removal of large damaged ceiling tile @ a height of 40'(and a temp of 98 degrees) and complete gutting of three second floor classrooms. the work is grueling (two-30 c.yd. dumpster fulls) but nary a whiner among us. i don't mind putting in a hard day of work but these people put me to shame. they do love to serve.

before leaving ohio we'd notified bruce nolan, reporter for the new orleans times-picayne of our 50th trip. bruce stopped by mt. zion to say hello today and we caught him on video - hoping to post it here. more to come tomorrow.

  1. so, so cool to see the interview with our gingham-friend-reporter. 50 trips seems like a lot, but i guess 100 more still to come!
