This project will replace insulation and drywall that was damaged during recent flooding. Majority of the work will be in basements. Drywall experience is helpful but not required, and we will provide OJT. All tools and materials will be provided, however you may bring your favorite drywall tools. There will be a minimal need to do some mold mitigation.
All materials, masks and rubber gloves will be provided. Yellow LERT vests or shirts are strongly encouraged.
Water, gatorade and a box lunch will be provided each day.
Sturdy shoes will be a necessity for carrying sheets of drywall down steps that have had carpet etc removed from them. Also, bring a lawn chair for breaks and lunch, most basements have no place to sit.
The current plan is to create 3 crews of 5 volunteers each to work each day. At least one volunteer on each team will have experience with drywall, mudding and taping and will be the crew team leader. It is estimated this project may last between 2 to 3 months. Volunteers may sign up for just one day or for all of the listed days. We will also have a Saturday scheduled for volunteers that work during the week.
For all out of area or state volunteers please email Kris Schuldt at pitchatent@centurytel.net for availability of local Host families. There are also numerous motels in St. Charles, Mo. Additional deployment postings will be created as work progresses and as material availability increases.
Crews will meet each morning at the Immanuel St. Charles garage for assignments and for loading material and tools.
