Day 2: Monday, July 20, 2015
Today we split into two groups to do work. One group went to a house where the kitchen floor was sinking and the other went to a house to rebuild a deck. My group had the kitchen floor project. We had some difficulty today, the biggest one being that when we got to the work site the owner didn't want us to fix her floor. She was under the impression that the contractor would be there to review our work. So after learning that we weren't going to start the floor today we decided talk with and get to know the owner and her friend Nick. We really got to know the people and we bonded as a group a lot. After talking for a while we decided to pick up trash around the river. We are very excited to start on the floor tomorrow.

My group went to a house with an unreliable porch. We spent the first half of the day demolishing the porch, running into some possibly poison oak in the process. We also set up a game plan for the new porch; which we will be working on the rest of the week. After lunch, we headed back to the school and got set up for kid's club. Although we were attempting a scheduled day filled with games, an arts & crafts project, a skit, and a snack; we were lucky enough to be with a group of kids that went with the flow. We did a little bit of everything. The kids were very loud and energetic, but I think (and hope) they enjoyed themselves. We had trouble earning their attention at first; but by the end of the time we had together, I think we had them pretty much under control. We're excited to get back to the home tomorrow and start building the porch!
