We did a lot today in 5 1/2 hours. We started with a quick meeting to sign in and sign forms for the volunteers.
Then we divided into different projects. The majority of us cleared the weeds from the properties, so we can start to marking out the house next weekend (We are hoping).
Deena clearing and being silly.
Lupe and Leticia clearing Lupe's lot.
Jacob, Michael, Ian, and David clearing Deena's lot.
While we were working today there was a crew working on putting in the back fences on two sides.
Another crew (Deena, Maria, and Tricia) worked on painting signs for each lot. This sounds easy, but it was a lot of work. We had to paint each board white, which took 2+ coats. Then we had to mark out were everything would be stenciled onto the sign. Then we had to hand paint each sign staying inside of the lines, which was harder than it sound. We were very grateful that other people came over to help us get the signs painted. It took most of the 5 and 1/2 hours to complete the signs.
Deena stenciling the lot number, address, and plan number on each sign.
John still raking the weeds.
Yes, there was still more to rake. Michael raking.
