Sunday we arrived on time via Air Tran. We got our cars and went to Camp Restore. We met with Michael, a construction team leader who took us to look over a house that has been "stripped" of all sheetrock, electrical and most plumbing. Unfortunately the roof has some holes in it and is collapsing in areas. Termites have done damage and some top and bottom plates and other framing need to be replaced. Unfortunately this is complicated by a real brick outer that is connected to the framing.
The construction manager, Walt, drove in with his wife and RV. We shoveled several dozen wheelbarrows of stone to prepare a site for his RV. We reviewed the extensive tool house and selected our tools for tomorrow. We also attended church and communion at Prince of Peace Lutheran church (affiliated with RAI). Pastor Goodine held the service at one end of the dining hall pictured below, and we had supper at the other end. I should also note that the pipe organ shown in the dining hall pix was also damaged by Katrina -- just days before it's dedication. We'll try to get more info later this week on how the repairs are progressing.
