Today we went back to the Habitat house in Diamondhead. We worked with some folks from upstate New York, a youth group from Nebraska, and a group from Adelphi University on Long Island. The kids painted again - some of the boards had not had two coats and some worked on the trim. Others built another retaining wall for the driveway. Dave and I worked on the railing for the porch, but were not able to put it together as they didn't have the correct type of screws on site. We then measured and cut triangles to fit into the ends of the soffits around the house. We came back and showered and are waiting for dinner. The folks from Wisconsin have arranged with the town historian to give a lecture tonight on Bay St. Louis - before and after Katrina. They have invited us to join them so we will go out with them this evening.
