Today 2/11 and last Saturday 2/4 were both very productive days, and our project is
moving forward. We have been really blessed by the great people that have come out each week, including a team from Concordia University and the group today from Christ Community Church. In addition to these teams, there has been a flood of highly skilled individuals coming out on both Wednesdays and Saturdays. The average on Wednesdays has been remarkable, with up to 12 skilled men on any given day.
Two weeks ago we did not even have a 2nd floor, and as of today there is both a brand new 1st and 2nd floor, all of the framing for walls on both stories, two sets of stairs, quite a bit of plumbing, as well as a stand-up tub and shower, and some of the heating ducts! Today, we cleaned the job site after the work on Wednesday and brought in a delivery of dry wall and wood beams. We began the framing around the heating ducts and also removed the false ceiling from the addition that will eventually be removed. A dedicated few shoveled heavy loads of dirt from one place in the basement to another, to fill in an area that will be sealed off.
As we move forward it is truly exciting to see the total scope of this project, and all that we are being offered through this process. It is really hard for me to even say in words how much it means to me personally, how much it means to us as a family. Chris and I truly appreciate each and every person involved in moving this project forward. We are a day closer to completion each day we work together. In doing so you are moving us forward also, as we are that much closer to our dream of owning our own home.
