Both painters and roofers showed up Wednesday. The duplexes got painted, and the roofers made a start at repairing the roof. Volunteers also worked to dig French drains to prevent bogs and lakes around the houses during the rainy season.

The color of the houses now blends with the Sodo. When the roof repairs are done, the roof will be painted a color that will also blend in.

The houses are looking better all the time, and we look forward to having our own houses to live in so we aren’t paying rent. Many thanks to all who have donated and continue to donate to make all of this possible, and also to the many wonderful volunteers who keep moving everything forward.

Wednesday Work Parties

We have regular Wednesday and Thursday work parties from around 9am to 3:30pm. There is plenty of work for people to do, inside and outside, light and heavy. Come for as much or little of the time as you wish. We have tools and gloves, but if you have your own, feel free to bring them. You are invited to join us in meditation in the Sodo from 11:30am-12:25pm. If you are around at 12:30pm, we feed you lunch.
