June 18 2010 photos--

We are very close to finishing; just need a couple things to get the final inspection, grading the yard and some painting of the trim both inside and outside. We hope to take kids in August and then work on the electrical and flooring for the women’s shelter. Upstairs we have seven beds to fill; one room with two twin beds for female teens, one bedroom with three beds for whomever but is designated the boys room if we get boys and one girl room with two beds for girls and then Faith’s room so if every bed is full we will have eight kids.

The inside is still a work in progress but close to being finished. After we get the final permit allowing occupancy we can unpack everything from storage and finish each room. I will send photos of the interior when that happens; probably end of July-some time in August. When everything is done we will have a large bbq for everyone involved in the house in some way--there have been so many wonderful people supporting FHM through the long process! We are forever grateful for all the love and support.

Blessings to all,

Cheryl

Todays Photos

click on this photo to enlarge it and you will see the wood (under the siding in other photos) says "Blessed be the name of the Lord" and "Bless this home". The wood under the siding on the front portico says, "Bless all who enter here" too.

Photos are out of order. The ceiling for the wrap around screened in porch is finished, wood swing hung, siding installed on side gable of porch (can click to enlarge any photo--note the cool note Peter wrote on the wood gable before installing the siding), stair rails to open deck finished, fancy stuff added to front columns, shakes on the front portico gable and new door installed but not finished. We are moving along; so much to do!!

Todays photos (so far--10am only)

Flowers planted in the planter and two urns and I mulched the front under the planter. The guys are putting the screened in porch ceiling up. Time for Mike and I to work inside, second story (sooo much to do still). If you click on the photo you can see it larger.

Have a wonderful day!

Photos of work done today

The deck rail was finished (just need to do the stair rails), rest of shutters on the house installed and planter on the stone bump out (need plants now).

Thanks everyone!!

God is great!

Per prayer, we have an awesome carpenter working at least until next week. The screened in porch rail is finished, just need the screen on. Thank you Peter!!

Getting closer to moving upstairs!

We are very close to being able to move upstairs but our carpenter has not been able to come. We need to finish our porch rail in order to get occupancy. This is our prayer request; for a carpenter that can finish the porch rail as soon as possible. We are working towards the final plumbing inspection Monday and taking it from there.

Thank you for the prayers!

Prayer Requests!

We are working hard to be able to move upstairs and be finished April 17. ( and get all our permits including Occupancy April 12-16). Please pray for our plumber who keeps having scheduling conflicts as we need him to finish his work by this Friday to get our final plumbing permit Monday.

Please pray the other contractors have the time and good weather to finish their work as well so that we can move upstairs April 17, Lord willing of course.

Thank you! We really need prayers for workers to come and finish; plumber, electrician, carpenters, siding installers and rain gutters.
