When we first got here we needed to clean the roof and apply another coat of protective and reflective paint.
Then the crew for July came in and we started with our opening meeting to get acquainted and to get ready for the months tasks.
Meet the cleaning and painting crew. Left to right we have Patty, Karen, Ruthie and Billie.
The painting started in the boys dorm---
---where they're getting ready for a new dorm supervisor---
---and the students.
Then the painting crew turned into a cleaning crew---
---and one of the first things to clean was the windows on the boys dorm---
---so clean they did---
---and did outside--
---and inside.
Then they moved to covering the new books which came in in the last month.
Meanwhile, the men started the work of hanging sheet rock in one of the staff houses.
Some of the spaces were more challenging than the others. This one was a really tough area.
Some of the house had been sprayed with foam for insulation but we didn't have a skiving tool to remove the excess---
---and remove it we did.
Hanging and finishing the rock in this stairway was definitely a challenge.
One of the tasks which has needed to be done for several years was to clean and arrange the storage buildings. This month we had the perfect guys to get it done.
Of course we did spend a good time each morning at devotions where we took turns expressing our appreciation for what God has dome for each one of us.
Another project this month was to install a new lighted sign for the entry. We started by laying brick to use to mount the new sign.
The brickwork went up---
The wiring was completed---
---and then the sign was hung and lit.
Big change from the sign picture from two years ago!
Last night God left us with another of His wonders---
---and to finish out the project we bought another pickup so we will be able to take others on adventures with us.
