This morning, we started by cutting the moisture seal from the top of the house.  Steff holds the ladder as Jenn cuts the wrap!
All week, we've been saying that Bri looks like Rosie the Riveter from the WWII propaganda. Today, we finally got a picture of her!
Michael was one of our helpers this week.  You can see how he uses the floor-plan as he sets up the boards that will be used for the walls.
This was taken by the photographer on Thursday, but it's such a cute picture that we had to post it.  Kelsey, Chelsea, Naiomi, Emily, Steff, Bri, and Ryan pose for a picture in the wall.
Meet our fantastic chaperones - Brie and Lisa!  They're currently sleeping, and have been, for a few hours, so that we can leave in the middle of the night and get back to Pennsylvania tomorrow afternoon!  We're so thankfully that they have been so helpful and supportive this week!
Naiomi helps nail a wall into the baseboard!  You can see one of the bedrooms on the right and two closets towards the left of the picture.
After lunch, Jill, one of the Habitat for Humanity helpers that was with us this week, gives us a short history of Habitat and answers our questions. 
After our discussion, we build the largest interior wall.  This will span the back bedroom, bathroom, and laundry room.
Once we put the wall up, we could see how the hallway would look!!
Emily saws at the base of the door frame.  This initially looked like fun, but she quickly realized that it was hard work!
We finally finished our work on the house for the week!  You can see our group, as well as the Habitat workers from Pickens.  We were all truly upset (even crying) that we finished working on the house.  Saying goodbye to all of our helpers for the week was awful, but they were very appreciative of all of our work and that we had given up our Spring Breaks to come down South and help out the community!  We are all very happy to have worked on this house and truly wish for the best for the Greeno Family!
Before we left, we signed and left notes in the trusses of the house that would be placed in the roof of the house.
Tonight for dinner, we managed to mostly we plaid or black shirts (for the girls), and blue (for guys).  So the few of us that weren't dressed like everyone else changed and we all matched!  It was almost completely unplanned!!
Following dinner, we had a heart-to-heart in the kitchen.  Someone found a large jug of pickles, so we naturally had to open it and all eat some!  However, it took Kelsey, Bri, Alyssa, AND Chelsea to finally get the jar open!

Now, we're all preparing for the long drive home.  A few of us will nap, and most of us will stay up and plan to sleep in the car.  Pennsylvania, we'll see you tomorrow afternoon!
