Stained

Yesterday and today my group that was landscaping went back to the site in Pascagoula to help out with finishing the railings because they were hoping to get them done by today (Saturday). I worked with Mollie, staining all of the freshly built railings and I must say, we have quite a good system now! Stain is really messy, so it might be surprising to some of you, but I actually kinda like doing it, minus the nasty smell and how sticky my hands get! I seriously have not found one thing that we have learned to be boring or something that I can't stand to do...I have this theory that I shared with some teammates earlier that it doesn't matter what task we are doing, it's all about your attitude and company while you are working...for me, as long as I have some music to sing along to, and/or other people/teammates/friends/volunteers to chat and laugh with, I will most likely have a great time! I just can't express enough how much I have been enjoying learning to do new things and throwing myself even more outside of my comfort zone. Anyways, here is a picture of the railing that Mollie, Joe and I made the other day, nice and stained this time...finally finished!

Beautiful, isn't it? 

Here is another picture of the whole crew that we worked with...my team, AmeriCorps State members Ali and Stephen, and Habitat for Humanity Site Supervisors Mark and Greg. 

It was a really fun crew to work with, and we were all kinda sad today that we won't be working with them again :( But next week we are supposed to be working with Jamie's crew on a new build, so that will be exciting! 

Again, I am really sad that we only have 2 1/2 work days left here, but I am so ready to be home for Christmas!!! I can't wait to see ya'll!!!
