Funds have been acquired to repair the units it the lower village of Moenkopi which is on the south side of Tuba City one hour north of Flagstaff.
Teams of 4 to 6 are needed for each unit that needs repairs. Time estimate for each unit runs from 3 to 6 days with a crew of 6. As of today there is not local help identified for the jobs. Local help is being sought from the village and the local high school building classes. These jobs will require more prep (stripping, pulling nails, patching) than finish work.
Roll roofing and drywall are the type of work. Strip old, lay down drip edging and underlayment, cover and secure roofs. Drywall ceilings after the roof is assured (you know it will be done). If you start a unit you will have to stay until the job is done, so add a day to our estimate just in case.
Housing is available in the village center which has a bath room but no showers. You will need sleeping bags or equivalent, mattress, and pillows, and you will be sleeping on the floor or if you are lucky a folding table. Cots are an option to bring, also.
Food is available in the local community five minutes away with everything from Denny's to Sonic and McDonalds.
All costs beyond materials will have to be borne by the volunteers. We are actively seeking assistance with fuel and food expenses so hang onto receipts for a while.
If you are interested there are two options:
1. Put together a team and pick dates between 4 November and Thanksgiving. Most of this is roof work so warmer weather is a must unless you have access to a hot tar pot.
2. Let me know you are available and we will add you to a team that is short.
This will be a tremendous opportunity to show the love of Christ to an entire village.
