[First entry in a series on my mission trip to Minnesota.]
Minnesota. Way up North. Lots of trees. And mosquitos. It’s all rather beautiful.
However, what isn’t so beautiful is run-down housing, and that’s what I was up there to fix. During the week, my group worked on two houses. The first house needed the front half of its roof replaced, and some new siding panels on every side.
- Monday: I stripped off a bunch of shingles, removed some of the old siding, and even started inserting the new siding panels.
- Tuesday: I spent the whole day on the roof putting on new shingles.
The second house, which was actually a trailer, needed some new siding in addition to having some of its windows painted.
- Wednesday (half day): I put primer on the siding panels.
- Thursday: I scraped paint off the windows, and put primer on them.
- Friday: I painted the siding as others put it up.
