Exciting Days!

Last week we spent some time finishing up the painting in the Waters Mackie suite. Today they stopped by for a peek and I was relieved when I found out they like what they saw. We used their corporate colors - but I still felt we were going out on a limb! I hope it's not just because right now their present office is done in pinks and purples! Painting and most of the varnishing is done! And we didn't completely loose our sense of humour over this phase of the job!



Like son, like father!

The cabinet for the lunchroom also went it! It's all coming together!

Lunchroom

We also spent many hours this past weekend getting ready for the flooring for Waters Mackie. We made it with lots of help from Cor and Joanne with a few moments to spare for showering, quick supper and making a pot of coffee before people started arriving for our next excitment of the weekend. Once again on this past Saturday Cor was here to do some more finishing details. AND Joanne was here to help out with whatever she could! While Cor did woodworking, Peter did some varnishing and Joanne and myself crawled around on the floor scraping and vaccuming to make sure there are no unwelcome bumps under the carpet come the end of the week!

Scraping drywall mud!

Capping off a partial wall.

Then the day's work was done!

This past weekend was an exciting one for us here at Siding 12! On Saturday evening we had many close friends and family here to celebrate the dedication of the building - one year after we had some of the same people plus others here to commit this whole project to the Lord. Hard to believe all that has taken place in the past year! There is no doubt - we couldn't have done it without God and His leading and protection!

Before we could even take a breath and grab a cup of coffee this morning - our stucco company was here and putting on the scratch coat in the gable ends! Wow - we've waited a long time for this too! Carpet going into suite 102 and stucco going on outside! We're just moving along! Still have a Grand Opening to get ready for so it's good to see all these things happening!

STUCCO!
