With the aid of many local volunteers, the teams spent the morning putting roofs on two of the houses. Afternoon rain brought an end to the roof construction, so teams turned their attention to installing windows and other jobs.

Richard Buerkle from Memorial Baptist Church in Arlington, Virginia, and local volunteers work on the roof of the Shavoy's future home. The apartment of Allen and Shacira Savoy was flooded during Hurricane Rita. The sewers backed up, and most of their furniture and other possessions were lost. The Savoys and their five children, ranging in age from eight months to nine years old, have been living in a FEMA trailer.
