We were blessed with another sunny, cool day. I guess when we’ve been having mornings in the 30’s, the low 40’s feels warmer …lol. On our drive to the site, we were delayed waiting for one of the many really long freight trains that often pass through Sullivan. We hear train whistles going at all times of the day and night. Yesterday’s train had a second engine in the middle of the train, followed by 55 more cars! We’re guessing that it had over 100 train cars in total. It’s amazing to think about the logistics to get all these train cars loaded in the right order and being able to figure out the final destination for each one.
When we got to the site around 7:45am, there were some folks on the team that were already back to work finishing up floors.
After our wonderful devotional and morning prayer, Bob handed out our task list for the day. The goal was to get all the floors done today, and get the doors and kitchen cabinets staged inside the house.
We got right back to finishing up the bedroom we were working on. We had a few easy rows, and then we had to cut around the closet walls.
We had to rip the last piece to get it to fit.
Shortly after lunch … ta da … we were done with the flooring :-).
While we were working on the bedroom, the living room/kitchen floor was completed and the kitchen cabinet boxes were unloaded, unpacked and placed in the kitchen area.
Jennifer (the future homeowner in the grey shirt) came to help out this afternoon. It’s great to get to speak with her and feel her excitement about the house.
Others on the team were starting to install interior doors. By the end of the day, there were 3 doors installed.
Our next job was to take the cardboard from the cabinets and tape them to protect the floor from damage.
Typically our team does the final outlet wiring and installing fixtures. This year, the electricians agreed to get these all wired for us. Wow – that’s a big time saver!
We were blessed with another productive day. Since we took Tuesday off, we will be going back to work tomorrow. God is good!
Debbie says they were blessed with another productive day. It’s true but it’s an understatement . Every day has been productive. Very productive. Just a few days ago this was a bare field. Now a talented and generous group of volunteers has turned this plot of land into an incredible home. What an achievement. What a beautiful tribute to the creator. Yes God is good
This is a home built with God’s grace and He used you as his angels to deliver this project.
You allowed Him to take over and this is the result.
Productive days , beautiful sunrise, prayers, community spirit , and thanks giving .
What a home, built in His glorious name, this will be and Jennifer is a lucky woman to revive such a gift of love .
Good bless you all .
Stay safe ❤️🙏
While I may be off topic, I’m glad you guys are doing well and enjoying yourselves while not in FL. I know you live on the Gulf side but just the same, I’m happy you are doing God ‘s work somewhere else.
Godspeed
