DONE! What a GREAT Experience!

Robin on the scaffolding....






Billie was the counterbalance for Robin on the scaffolding...







Saturday afternoon ... finished!






Saturday evening ... we cleaned up pretty well for our dinner out on the town!







Our last day at Ferry Place was hot as usual, but we were able to complete what we had started. We finished trimming out two houses ... baseboards, door trim, window sills, etc. Painting was finished earlier in the week. We left plenty of jobs for the next Rhino crowd, but we felt good about what we contributed.





We enjoyed a dinner out on Saturday night and strolled the French Quarter for a little while, ending up at Cafe du Monde for beignets ... no trip to New Orleans would be complete without it.

We continued to be touched by how appreciative EVERYONE was! Future Habitat Homeowners, St Charles Avenue Presbyterian congregation members, hotel and restaurant workers ... Everyone thanked us for coming to help rebuild their city.

Sunday morning, we were rolling by 7:30 am! Laura G and Billie "skyped" into the 8:30 and 10:30 worship services to update the congregation on our trip. This technological feat was a first, but hopefully not last! We arrived home safely around 8:30 pm Sunday evening, with many memories, new and re-newed friendships and some clothes splattered with paint, dusted with saw dust, markers of our new found skills!


What a GREAT experience!
