today my team embarked on another day of work on galvez street. after having to re-prime the entire house to meet the expectations of the home owner, we were able to begin painting. the home owner's choices of color were less than attractive but we started with the family room. we deemed the ceiling an "arctic grey" and the walls "ugly sand." we painted on. after a delicious lunch and much waiting, our infamous home owner showed up. i was hoping that maybe meeting with her would make it easier for me to deal with her meticulous requests but her less than friendly demeanor didn't do much. i don't believe she said thanks once. that got me thinking about what i'm really doing down here and why. after a good back yard talk with katrina, i realized that our home owner appearing ungrateful in no way demeans what we're doing and why we're doing it. we are all here to give help to whoever is in need.
