After a good breakfast the group went to the home they are working on. Lorie strapped on her tool belt and with Mary's help started trimming out a room. What are the guys doing? Ask them when they return. By the way don't forget lunch- Brian.

Ross said the guys hung interior doors & kitchen cabinets, have a back deck to build, need to work on soffit and was asked if they could lay tile. All by Saturaday.
