A half day on site .for the group’s final work day here... A decorative roof gable required by Hungarian “regules” for row homes was started, interior floor waterproofing is 98% complete, exterior mudding done, exterior sanding almost complete… this team rocked their way through several major tasks in their time here… right ON!!!!
Welcome additions… two local residents joined the group for the majority of their time here, unexpected and delightful in all ways, and perhaps an opening towards more participation of this kind. Each enjoyed the experience and the opportunities to both build and socialize with the team. Very cool.
An “end note”… The next GV teams for Szarvas are likely to be scheduled for late spring of 2008, so we will be transitioning into “winter” mode, working with just staff, families, and occasional local volunteer(s) until spring. Weather will dictate progress, and I am likely to begin sharing more time in the office than the work site… definitely a change of pace!

Building progressed steadily: sealing floors, sealing the exterior insulation via the mud and fiberglass process, roof sheathing, site clean up, and so on. Off site machinations… team leader calls to Medex , hospital and insurance companies supported and coordinated with Gabi and the “tools” at hand in the office: fax, phone, copy machine, scanner, and computer/internet access.
Shared dinners filled the evenings, with extras like folk dancing and the memorial walk with Levi to round out the team’s week.
