Carol's House is FINISHED!
As of last Tuesday, Carol's house is done and she and Shirley spent their first night there. They hve been working very hard getting their things into place and are very pleased with the new home. And they have really turned the house into a home with all of their own touches and decorating skills. The first picture shows Kerry putting the last knob on the kitchen cabinets and so unofficially finishing the house as Carol watches.
Thursday night we had the house dedication and turned over the key to Carol and so our job as MDS is done. We also presented her and Shirley each with a bible, as well as a Hammer rings Hope book to Carol. We had some singing and then a prayer of blessing and dedication for the home. Earlier , Carol and Shirley and some friends had served us a delicious supper and all in all the evening was a success. Everyone commented on the beautiful house she had.

Week #7
Our rebuild was full of hectic activity as more mudding and sanding and sanding and mudding took place. There was dust everywhere. The ceilings got textured, and by the end of the week, everything had it's final coat of paint.
Outside the house got a coat of blue paint. The owners were both very thrilled with the color and said it was a "happy color" We got to the site just as everyone was sitting down enjoying their lunch.
