Collegiate Challenge: Week 5

The last week of Collegiate Challenge brought with it rain, but fortunately the rain didn’t dampen the spirits of the University of Delaware.  Luckily the sun did decide to come out before the end of the week.
The goal for the week was to put up siding and shingles.  Unfortunately the rain did present barriers. We often had to find jobs on the ground in the morning until the roof dried out. Even with this obstacle, lots of shingles were installed.
We were fortunate to be joined by Heidi and Paul Rendall along with Donald and Lois Schroeder. They came all the way from Wisconsin to build with us for the week! Heidi and Paul have been coming for years, and this year they were able to bring Don and Lois along. I cannot say enough about the leadership they provided on the work site. They were the main leaders of our siding crews and they did an awesome job.
As Collegiate Challenge comes to an end, I have bittersweet feelings. I will miss the energy that the college students bring to the work site. But, it will be nice to have more time to keep up with my office work!
Below are some pictures from the week!
