Naida and Ms. B. who runs Mercy House (A.K.A. the distribution center)
My (and 4 others main task for the week was fixing the Mercy House storage building. the build had been errected and then blown off its morings. We were able to align one end sufficiently enough to frame it in and then ajust the other end and frame that in too.
Me on the roof
Ran out of grey and finished it with white. I tried to convince them it was a New England thing but I doubt they bought it. The new roll up door is being donated (Praise God) and should be available near end of Jan.

Some of the crew that moved and sorted the Mercy House stuff
The first floor of Mercy House. It is filled with items and the 1200+ Square foot Metal build oput back is piled 7-8 feet high, enough stuff to last only SIX MONTHS.
The most popular member of the team was also the youngest at 9 months. Joseph Farrier with his pops Arron and mom Rachel.
