Team Ottawa: Dave D., Jill D., Caleb S., Kevin S., Danielle H., Becky C.

            Our first day started fast we had the van packed and ready to go almost right away. We went out to work on this nice ladies trailer, our job was to put up the mettle skirting around the building. As soon as we got to the site we started work,  making measurements and cutting metal. The job was done just before lunch with no problems. Since we had finished our work we where sent to work with a new family for the next day.
            Our second day we started just as strong as the first, the car packed with our tools and ready to go. We left the center and arrived at a trailer park. We pulled up and met the family which was very nice and polite. They pointed us in the right direction and we set up our supplies. Our first job was to fix the pluming in the kitchen sink. Putting the pipes in the right places was like a big jigsaw puzzle. But with the combine effort of our crew we solved it and finished that job. Our next order of buisness was to put down a new floor. We first gave each person in our crew a job perfect for there skill set to make every thing move as quickly and smoothly as possible. First we set down luan to get a flat and level floor than we worked to measure out and cut the tile. We finished cutting the tile in a timely fashion but we had to cover the screws in the luan with floor leveling compound. With the leveling compound in the screw holes which needed to dry and there was nothing more to do that day we started to pack up. As we packed up we new that we had done a lot that day. We hope to finish our work soon.
