We need Volunteers (No experience necessary - all Sr. High's and Adults welcome).
WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO??
We are scheduled to Install Sheetrock and Insulation in a home in Canyon Lake.
If necessary, we will clean up homes, and that could mean tearing out sheet rock
and insulation 4 - 8 ft up from floors throughout
these homes. That also means tearing out kitchen and bath cabinets that
were destroyed by water in these homes (So bring your plumbing tools too!).
You folks need to bring hammers, utility knives,
a couple of staple guns to tack up the insulation, nail aprons/tool belts,
gloves, cool clothes, and it is always handy to have a first aid kit plus
some mosquito spray. We may be also doing some Mud out so bring boots, shovels, squeeges, etc.
too!If you have folks who are experienced with taping and
floating they are welcome to put in the first application.
Hope this appeals to you.
