Even though I didn't get a chance to go work on Monday since I was ill the night before and couldn't go to work then. Although I did get the chance to work this Tuesday by helping to redo some siding that wasn't done properly the first time. Even though it wasn't the kind work that the rest of the group was doing (they were all painting at the time), I still felt that it was very rewarding work. In the end, the siding was redone in a more efficient way that wouldn't allow water to get through, and this was much better for the house overall.
However, I never did get to finish all of the siding, but at least I finished most of it. The rest will be finished by groups later in the week, but it is nice to have finished so much of it. Once the work today was finished we got to meet the owner of the house that we were working on. It was nice to get personally thanked by the owner, and it really made me feel that the work was worthwhile.
In the midst of hot, humid days under the bright New Orleans sun, its moments like these that make it all worth it in the end.
