Carol City week 1 Jan 25 - 31, 2014

Sunday we attended church at Carol City where we are working, 

 The children of the church did the service. 

 It was very lively and everyone enjoyed it!

Sunday evening we had our first team meeting with the minister 

and two members of the church attending.  

We talked about the plans for work for our three weeks here the

 list of work includes over 20 items with the

 big item to paint the outside of the church. 

Butch tore apart the soffits started to inspect the 

wiring for the lights on the outside of the church. 

Judy worked on scraping the areas of the 

building that was loosened by power washing. 

Scott applied wood putty to repair the fascia of the church.

 

Butch and Al worked on fixing up the roof for the front

 of the church porch, they also cleaned the gutters. 

By the end of Tuesday the front of the church was 

well on the way to having the first coat of paint started 

and then it rained for the rest of the week. 

Al worked on the tearing off the old roof 

over the restroom entrance and replacing it. 

Judy cut in on the outside doors around the school part of the church building. 

Kay cut in the corners of the walls outside and painted many walls. 

Scott prepared the new doors for the entrance to the church.

Nancy painted in areas that the paint roller could not reach. 

Butch worked on rebuilding the door to a storage area. 

Cheri cut in and painted the groves in the ceiling of the overhang

 on the school side of the church property.

Dennis painted  the primer over the area where the ceiling was repaired. 

Al and Scott worked on getting the door to fit from the 

sanctuary to the hall after building the new ramp. 

On Thursday night we had a pot luck and movie night.  

We watched the movie "Joshua." 

Friday night the police closed down the street in front of the church 

where we have our campers parked. Butch and Al visited 

with the policewoman blocking the entrance to our parking area. 

The State of the City address by the mayor was going on at the center across the street.

One of the policemen had a neat toy that he patrolled the area with. 

 It was a T2, like a Segway but with 3 wheels.
