cummingsngoings: 3rd Week in Tucson

We started the final week by finishing doing final touches on previous work. Here Paul is installing the final pieces of ceramic tile for the church office.

And Shirley is finishing the line painting for the handicapped parking spaces that was begun last week.

Then we began work again on the youth building (building for teens at the rear of the property) as Bill cut the Luan for the floor,

and after gluing each piece, Stel stapled the sheets in place.

Bev and Jane continued weeding around the playground to make it more inviting to neighborhood youth.

Shirley, Paul, Jim and Jane all worked to paint the window trim in the sanctuary.

Early in the week, we were all invited to the Pastor's house for an authentic Mexican dinner. (YUM)

Then it was back to work on the youth building. Bill and Stel started sealing the Luan to have it serve as "finished floor" until the church can afford to put in tile or some other floor finish.

And the youth wanted to be able to paint a mural in one of their rooms so Bev and Jane painted the land and sky for the backdrop of the mural. With finished baseboards now installed, looks pretty good and the kids now have a clean, neat space for their fellowship times.

Bev and Shirley did final touch up of baseboards and door trim that were just installed,

and Stel and Bill did final touches on doors to make them more usable.

Jane and Jim set out to "straighten up" the trustee's supply space. The change was remarkable.

With the week over, we all headed of to our next project or vacation spots. Stel is headed to Wichita Falls, TX where she and Jodi will spend the next three weeks. The travel path is the same all the way back to El Paso, but then we veered north east on the mountain trail that lead back into and across New Mexico past Carlsbad, NM. What views.
