Day 2: the least Mosey Monday

1/2/12

Today was what many of us familiar with mission trip lingo call “Mosey Monday”. On Mosey Monday we are expected to only get situated with our worksites and do a lot of standing around; Mosey Monday is about orientation and getting set up. Some crews were lucky enough to get work done on their sites today, declaring today the least Mosey of all the Mondays.

Today, our crew, crew B, is working on a site that requires a lot of spackle sanding, puttying on dry wall, placing of drywall and perhaps in the future, texture painting. We experienced a particularly Mosey Monday when another crew took off with our tools in the morning and we did not realize it until the other crew was already on their way into the city of New Orleans. However, we were particularly productive for the rest of the day to make up for all the MOSEY MOSEY MOSEY.

All crews agreed they were bonding with their crews and that they couldn’t wait to see what was to come for the rest of the week.

    Hey Team B
    A possible suggestion from a back-seat driver in MD: Sometimes when a previous crew has put down way way way too much dry wall mud, it can be removed with a sponge and bucket of water faster, and with a lot less dust. You can get down to where you want to be a lot faster than sanding. Whose turn is it to watch Randy and make sure he doesn’t hurt himself? He looks like Santa in the last picture.
