Building

Good Evening! I just wanted to take a moment to share some pics of a project that our family is involved in. Our Church is currently in the process of building a new Sanctuary and it is being done by the sweat of the members! These photos are actually about 2 weeks old and I have some current ones from today that I will post another time, it will show how work can be fun at the same time!
The top photo is featuring Murphy (L) Chad, William and Blake. They are currently in the process of taking dirt
from a pile they weren't suppose to. The photo of them dumping it back isn't here!
This youngster is William, he is nine, had to back up there and remove the eight, time is flying! It was his turn in the ditch here but when it wasn't he was dumping the wheel barrow as the others were filling it, here you will use your imagination to one of the work scenes, here is the perfect one, Chad shoveling the dirt in and William hauling it off to be dumped, OK, now, Chad throwing the dirt in the air and William having to catch it! The laughing that was going on had the rest of the crew stopping what they were doing to see what was up! I really wish I could have caught it but I don't know how to use the video on the camera yet.
Here is Little Man getting the re bar sized up to make the thing that is the next photo, (now there should be a photo there but I accidentaly hit the backspace where I wasn't suppose to and it disappeared!)they have something to do with the foundation and this day in particular we made around 30 of them in two different sizes. I was in charge of cutting the wire that was used to put them together. I got a blister from using them cutters that smarted for a week!


Last week was getting the piping and water lines in and the kids were excited when they heard that it all passed inspection with flying colors! They were all feeling a little inadequate as they had to be at weird angles and such but Pastor walked them through each step and showed them that he had all the confidence in the world in them! So there was a hearty whoop at the sign off!
