Saturday’s Update (9-21-13)

More pictures were added of today’s work! Click the link below.

Kevin Brown invited his baseball team and their parents to the church to work this morning. Several folks came up from Tri-City Baptist Church as well. They all focused on removing muck and debris from the landscape islands in the parking lot. The first layer was removed from most of the islands. This was hard, back-aching work. The dirt and silt were then moved with the “bobcat” to a pile south of the church.

More work was done on cleaning up the lawns near the church.

The wiring inside was completed! A group of volunteers spent a great deal of time on rewiring this week. Their efforts passed inspection with our city inspectors.

There was some additional general clean-up done inside the building. On Monday we hope to install insulation where it was removed and install new plywood where we have removed it. On Wednesday we hope that a crew will begin replacing our drywall.

A test group of chairs responded well to a new chemical cleaner and the bacteria appears to be gone. They look and smell much better. We will continue to treat the remaining chairs.
