Dear friends, It was to say the least a bit rainy here today. Did it impede our progress? Certainly NOT! Did the code inspector find a couple of nit picky things to keep us from getting final inspection approval at the Smiley's? YES he did. Can we still get it all done? We think so. So we need to revise the hand rails and apply some insulation to the pipes and approval should be obtained. There are some minor trim details to do inside and the house should be done. At the Duffy's house where the ramp is being built, the work continued in the rain. As you can see in the picture, there were some tarps and shelter's to keep the work on schedule although every one from that site was very wet on arrival back at the church.

Working in the rain

At Mrs. Mitchell's, where we started yesterday, the reconstruction of the bathroom floor is well under way and it should be tiled before the end of the day tomorrow. The window in the picture below was replaced today and the T 111 siding was painted. It is so damp that we hope we are able to apply it tomorrow. We helped to pay an amount due on her water bill. The water company was supposed to turn it on today but they had not been there as of 5 pm today. We are replacing the valves and innards of the toilets to prevent the huge loss of water that led to the unmanageable water bill.

The bad window and old siding

The McKeown's left this morning. We were sad to see them go. They contributed so much to the group and the work.

Last day tomorrow, then looking forward to seeing you again.

Blessed and Saved by the Grace of our Lord,

The Rural Mission team.
