Day 5

Day 5 started at 6:30 again.And after my 7:00 meeting I was back on the road. Day 5 is always the busiest and longest day of a World Changer project.In the early part of the morning I was seeing to the last minutes need of the work crews. I send a lot of time Fridays running from one site to the other.As a crew runs out of material we will try to use the unused material from the other sites.After about 5 hours it was tine to head to lunch.Friday we had pizza and it was good. Then we got the word that the crews were getting done.For me that meant I was running the unused material back to Metro Roofing.Once all the roofing had been return then it time for the clean up.For a few of the sites there dumpers were full. So I had to go to 2 job sites to clean up.The 1St one was easy.But when I got to the 2Th site there was more trash then I could get in my truck.So i had to get the other runner to help me.We drove to the other site to unload our trucks as we were unloading Kevin and Le Ann to tell us that we were done.It was 6:00 and after 11 hours I was happy to here those words.This year we had 175 volunteers who came from NC. SC. MI. MS. IL. LA. GA. AR. and TN.These crews replace 12 roofs and rebuilt 1 porch.In closing I would like to thank all the volunteers and Kevin and Le Ann Hale and Park Ave Baptist Church our host church.And most of all I would like to say Thank You to God for letting me be a part of this week.

Day 4

Day 4 started at 5:30.I had stayed at home Wednesday night so I got up early to get to breakfast on time.And after my 7:00 meeting I was on the road again.This year we used Walker Lumber and Metro Roofing for our materials.But once again rain in the forecast so our crews stayed tough.So I was busy keeping the crews with the material they needed.Each day at noon I was to meet with Kevin and Le Ann and have lunch and give a round down of how things were going.So after lunch here came the rain and I was thinking things mite be slow BUT I WAS WRONG!I got a call about 1:30 from Le Ann asking me to head to one of the sites because the crew was DONE and there was roofing to be return.I could not believe that any of our crews could be done that soon with all the rain we were having.About the time I got to Metro roofing I got a call tell me that a 2Th crew was done and they had roofing to return.That was incredible.So i was running hard to 5:00 and put on 123 miles.But we got a lot of work done even with the rain.

Day 3

Well today started at 6:30 again.After I get up I head to breakfast and have me some pig. (Bacon)Breakfast this year has been good.And after that i meet with Kevin and Lee Ann Hale the project coordinators to see what need to be done for the day.So I head out for my 1ST run of the day.But then the rain came again.So ever thing starting slowing down again.Then it stop about 10:30.By then the crews were able to get the last of the old roofing off.And now most of the sites are ready to start with the new roof.With the rain stopping I was back on the road driving a total of 82 miles today.Wednesday is a 1/2 day so I was done by 1:00.So i will be staying at home tonight and sleeping in my own bed.Nice

Day 2

Day 2 was a wild day.I was able to sleep in on Tuesday.( i got up at 6:30 I know it still early)And as the day started the weather was nice.And the crews were getting a lot done.On all of the roofing jobs the old roofing is rip off and some of the job sites we replacing the decking.But then the rain came and work came to a craw.I was staying busy till the rain came.But then around 11:00 the rain stop and the race was on.From then on I was running all around Nashville.I put on 118 miles on my truck and made 10 stops.I got done at 4:00pm.

Day 1

This was the first day of World Changers and it was a long one.The day started at 5:30 am.( I know I'm nuts)And the first stop was Krispy Kreme doughnuts and yes the light was ON.(Sorry Trisha ha ha) And on to west Nashville where we are based out of.And today I make 7 runs and drove 143 miles.It was a busy day.I got done after five .And it was hot today.Last week the weather was so nice.But we had a good day and ever one was safe.So I hope tomorrow will go as well as today.
