3707 Hummingbird Lane

After finishing tie Sojourn at Franklin Road Church of Christ in Indianapolis yesterday we drove the Trekker to the Memorial Parkway Church of Christ in Frankfort IN.  This is the city that I preached in from 2000 to 2014.  When Irene and I became Sojourners they were kind enough to allow us to put an RV hook-up in at the church building.   We then climbed back into the (now empty) Ford Flex and drove immediately to the Tokyo Buffet on Emerson and County Line for their wonderful Sushi and then to the Courtyard Marriott by the airport to spend the night so we could catch our 7:10 flight to McAllen, TX (via DFW - Dallas/Ft. Worth - airport.

We flew down here to do the "pre-drywall" inspection on the Port Home we are having built for us in Bentsen Palms Retama Village in Mission, TX.  It was exciting to see the future headquarters of www. JITrekking.com!  Here are some pictures:

This is Irene with Victor, the Construction Supervisor for Rhodes Builders in the hallway between the 2nd bedroom (behind them) and the laundry room where I took the picture from.

This is a view of most of the front of the house.  It is going to be Stuccoed on the outside which takes 4 coats - Skim Coat, Brown Coat, Base Coat and Finish (Color) Coat.  Here only the scratch coat is applied so far, so you can still see all of the seams in the metal.

This is the Living Room (foreground) and the Kitchen behind the 4 foot knee wall.  Then behind the kitchen where the large opening with sunlight coming through it is is the Pantry

This is the living room wall on the outside of the house.  The two holes will have 2 rows of 5 glass blocks in them to allow light into the room.

This is just taken to show the poly foam sealant they put in EVERY wood to 

wood joint to keep out air infiltration.  It is the pink stuff.

Here's a picture of the 2x6 blocking they put into every wall in the bath tub to apply handicap rails onto the wall.  This is done so you know FOR CERTAIN that you are screwing into wood.

Here's a short video that I took of the house from the street:

We fly back to Indianapolis on Monday Afternoon, just in time to go to my eye appointment on Tuesday and then ship out to Spencer, WV for our next Sojourn.  We are their from July 7-17th and then fly down here again from July 20th-23rd.
