The rest of the team.

Today the majority of the group went to The Vermont House but a few of us went to the Waxman House. The members that went to the Waxman house were Tony, Lois, Holly, Kim, Sandy, John, and me, Andrew. It was a frustrating day for us at the Waxman House where progress was impeded by numerous setbacks and learning how to do what our job was. The main job was to put sheetrock on the ceiling. The first part of our day went slowly, as we were learning how to hang sheetrock on the ceiling, and then came several setbacks; the chop saw broke around lunch time, requiring pretty much a full stop on work for about an hour while Tony got a new one. In the meantime we decided to have lunch, whereupon I discovered that Tony left with my lunch in the car! The problem was quickly solved with a quick run to McDonalds. Another problem we encountered was the fact that the exterior walls were out of plumb. It seemed as if every time we started to get into a rhythm that we would have another problem. We ended the day frustrated but looking forward to another day.
