On the weekend, Gary & Avis could not open the compartment door on their RV so....
 |
| Stel helped out by crawling through an adjacent compartment and adjusting the closing mechanisms. |
 |
| There was also opportunity for bird watching thanks to this little woodpecker |
 |
| pecking away. |
 |
| On Monday, Paul and Karen returned to Naomi's hose to finish the bathroom floor. After painting the floor with KILZ, they began installing tile. |
 |
| and the finished product. |
The rest headed to Hortensia's house to begin work on the deck & ramp.
 |
| First, Judy, Jan, Dave, Stel & Jodi worked on clearing accumulated debris. |
 |
| Then we prepared to raise the original deck 3 1/2 inches to meet the door frame and eliminate the step down to the ramp. Stel and Dave investigate the options and |
 |
| Dave starts to jack it up. |
Next day, since it was so cold, some returned to continue painting the inside of the parsonage but others.....
 |
| Stel, Dave and Jerry worked on repairing leaking toilets in the church to delay going out in the cold. |
 |
| Couldn't put it off any longer so Jerry, Dave, Stel and Jodi started layout and .... |
 |
| construction of the new section of ramp. |
 |
| Once we were ready, Paul and Karen helped put it in place. |
 |
| We need to move the ramp itself a foot away from the house to avoid the air conditioner so Stel and Dave begain setting the post for expansion of the upper deck landing. |
 |
| An angle brace is fabricated (serious group effort) and... |
 |
| new deck boards are installed to meet the new deck support. |
Since we don't want to leave Hortensia without an exit for the weekend, we moved our work back to the church.
 |
| Avis and Gary use the warmth of the church to cut trim pieces for the storm door at the parsonage. |
 |
| The church requested that the cross and flame be painted on this wall in fellowship hall so... |
 |
| Jan and Judy began sketching it and |
 |
| painting it and |
 |
| what a beautiful result. |
 |
| Paul, Jerry, Dave & Stel worked on ... |
 |
| replacing bulbs in the light fixtures and |
 |
| repairing pew racks and |
 |
| repairing ceiling tiles and... |
 |
| Karen removed grape juice stains form the carpet. (Her secret is boiling water poured on the spots. It Works!!!) |
(Why do I feel like I am back home?)
 |
| On Saturday, the church threw a party for the NOMADS, the "Winter Texans" and the new Pastor. Good food and fellowship. See you next week. |
