On a New Orleans work site we are required to accomplish and perfect many jobs, but none are quite as tasking and physically demanding as dry-walling. Today myself, Morgan McAlpine, Roslyn Martin, and Maddie Theiss took on this tedious task and began an adventure which will go down as possibly the most daring feat of NOLA mission work ever: installing dry wall on a bathroom ceiling.
To begin our job we first had to cut out our pieces of drywall with razor thin precision. After crafting this amazing piece of drywall we went to place it on the ceiling, a job that was left for only me and Madi to do because the rest of our group were on one of a seemingly infinite amount of poop breaks. While fitting the drywall to the ceiling we quickly realized that we had no where near the strength to accomplish this task without our team members. We realized this when our arms gave out and the large piece of drywall came tumbling down and hit me on the head (causing me to go into, what I believe, was a momentary coma). I soon recovered and the rest of my group arrived, all satisfied with the poops they had just taken, and we went to once more fasten the drywall to the ceiling. After positioning the drywall perfectly and grinding it down to make it a perfect fit, we finally felt that victory was in our grasp... Little did we know we would have one more twist in our path.
We had forgotten to cut out holes for the air duct and light fixture, defeated we trumped back to the drawing board and put our minds together to carefully construct our ceiling. Finally, with help from the circle cutting master Kirin Foster, we had it! Our work group crowded around to watch this piece of artwork be fitted. Slowly the drywall rose through the air and fit snuggly into place. Cheers erupted from our spectators as we laughed and cried with pure joy. We were heroes, champions, victorious winners. This glory lasted only momentarily however, as we realized we had only done one piece of a bathroom ceiling's dry-walling and we still had several to go...
Thank goodness we get to go back tomorrow for more dry-walling!
