Here's a couple of videos of the painting that the 3 sojourner ladies did at the first part of last week.
The Red Metal Sheets will be on the Front of the Building.
The Gray Metal Sheets have to be painted still (this week's work)
The Brown painted Sheets are for the sides of the building.
We've also worked on the fascias of the building. Here's a video showing that:
On the Facade we have been building a "Verge Rafter" for the back side of the facade and getting roofing felt on the roof of the facade. We got 1/2 of it installed on Thursday. We will install the rest in the morning Lord willing. Here's a picture of the facade with the scaffolding installed so we can work on it. That's me at the top. I've always been a monkey when it comes to climbing. Now, I'm a geriatric monkey! But I felt so young scaling the upward heights. Unfortunately, the next day all my joints were telling me "Don't write a check your body can't cash!" But I got back up there. As those that have been following this blog forever know, we had to replace the roof on the house we just sold about 16 months months ago - I was on that roofing project too. Plus, I've replaced numerous other shed roofs and installed 2 other house roofs also. Still on the roof of the facade is a 12/12 pitch (45º angle) so we were safety harnesses when working on it.
I also wanted to take the opportunity to update you on the house we are having built for us in Retama Village in Mission, Texas. We hope to close on it the 22nd of September. We got some updated pictures from Carol Kerr on Friday so I thought I'd include them on this post also.
This is a picture of the guest bathroom with the tub (covered so it isn't dinged up during construction) and the Sink base (on the left) and an overhead cabinet .
This is a picture of the Laundry Room showing the
cabinet above the dryer.
This is the sink cabinet in the Master Bathroom. It's only 1/2 of it. There are 2 sinks and a 2nd Medicine Cabinet on the left that aren't in the picture.
This the the master bathroom tiled shower. You can see the smallest portion of the seat near the right edge about 1/3 up the picture. The light on the rear wall is from those glass blocks in the exterior wall on the right.
The picture above is the future home of the master bathroom toilet. That is a linen closet on the left of it and an overhead cabinet above where it will be (hence OVERhead!)
The picture above shows the breakfast bar counter. Also the lower counter is over the dishwasher and the kitchen sink will be dropped into it also (the holes for all the sinks haven't been cut out yet - The stone is MUCH less likely to break if they aren't)
The picture above is the cabinetry surrounding the ovens - the space below is for the regular electric oven and the one above is for the Microwave oven.
So, that's it. We had Friday off and Ron and Lineta Grimes from Graysville, TN who are on the sojourn also and Irene and I drove out to Tadoussac and had lunch and then drove back and went to the Walmart in Saguenay.
Yesterday the Ladies - Sue Hughes, Lineta, Irene and Jean Grenier's (the local preacher) wife, Anna - all had a beading party so Irene could get some bracelets made for sale at the Annual Day at Shults-Lewis in September. We guys took a drive around "the lake" that isn't too far from here. It was about 150 miles around it.
Today were services. I'll talk about what I've had the opportunity to teach while I've been here in the next blog posting.
God bless you all.
