FINISHING UP

 The weekend brought rainy weather. Cheryl and Bill arrived on Saturday and then John and Sue arrived on Sunday afternoon. We had some heavy rain on Sunday  night with some sharp lightning, and a tornado warning, but all was safe. Nashville,Arkansas did have a tornado and a couple was killed.

 The goal for this week was to get the house mudded and ready to paint. David working on the corner.

 John put on the corner bead around the windows and Sue did the mudding around them.

The electric company showed up on Tuesday.

 The main service was connected to the house. Larry installed 2 temporary GFI receptacles, so we would have electric service.

 Sue is smiling because this is her last closet.

 This joint compound came in a plastic bag so Cheryl and Scott squeezed it into a bucket.

 By Wednesday afternoon we thought the living/ dining room and kitchen would be ready to prime on Thursday. Larry and I were leaving Thursday morning for we had an appointment at Red Bay on Friday, Thanks to Bill and Cheryl agreeing to take over as leaders a day early.

Larry and John worked at this gentleman's property on Wednesday. We were asked to build a shed for him.

John working on building the wooden floor.

We stopped by Danial's home and left him the Bible. He did have the walls textured and painted.

On Wednesday evening we went to Mrs. Carter's house and presented her and her son the Bible.

We had a nice presentation. David, Ruth, Sue and John knew Bishop Mueller from when he was a pastor at their church, so they invited him to come and join us in the blessing of the  house. The Carters are waiting for closing so they can move in.

  

The team enjoyed seeing a finished home, it sure helps to see what the home you are working on will eventually look like. Our team picture Scott and Pat, David and Ruth, John and Sue, Cheryl and Bill, Dottie and Larry.
