We've been working on the Union Valley (U.V.) worker housing this week. Suzy and Rodolfo have been helping us.
This is their youngest son, Grayson. At this point in the morning, Grayson was starting to feel comfortable with the whole housing fix - up arrangement. Before that, he was shy and quiet as we all ogled over him. Then as we adults started talking and working and ignoring him, he started to voice his thoughts louder and louder.
Suzy was one of my students a long time ago when I was a parapro at the elementary school in Chelan. She still has the same beautiful smile that she had in second grade. And it is so fun that she named one of her sons Grayson since our son-in-law is also Grayson! We think Grayson sounds like Great son.
Back to the work details....These units need fresh paint and miscellaneous repairs. We're working in Units A & B in these photos.
Rodolfo is filling the holes in the wall.
The ivory semi-gloss did a nice job of spiffing up the kitchen. Unit D is another story. It's going to need a lot more than a coat of paint. In this case, D stands for disgusting or disaster or demolition. None of us can believe a family with children lived there in those conditions. The housing fix-up is going to take more time and money than we initially thought.
