Building project

This is the second post tonight...

As I told you in the previous post, we've been building a new church building. The siding was kind of my project, and I'll tell you, the guys really stepped up and we did a wonderful job on it! Here are some shots of the building in various stages. We have probably 99% of the siding done now, but I broke my little finger on my left hand last saturday so I don't know how much more I'll be helping for a little while.


Just in case you wondered... hitting your little pinky with a hammer with enough force to drive the siding nail underneath it all the way into the wood, does in fact shatter the bone inside... believe me... Anyway, here are some pics. These were a little earlier this summer.. i'll update with more recent ones soon!

The long side of the building


Me wondering how I'm going to get on that roof...


Hmmm.... maybe a ladder...


The back of the building... Those scaffolding sections are 4 foot each... that's 16 feet in the air and then climb up on the roof for the top part!!!!

This whole project has been great. The guys have really bonded and we've all really enjoyed the "guy time" together. It's funny how you can work beside a guy a couple of times and really get to know him, but if you were to just see him in church every week, you barely get past the hello's. Anyway, pray that we get this wrapped up before the New Year!!! It's really been fun!
