While the blog is in my name, he is actually responsible for much of the content. As he noted, we did have 100 volunteers sign waivers to work at the site this year. As a group, they totaled over 1,650 hours of volunteer service. This doesn't include the "sweat equity" required of Isabel and her family/friends. The project could not have gotten done so quickly without the countless volunteers. We also could not have done it without the leadership of Pastor Cluney, who served as Site Supervisor, or Terry Miller, who was General Contractor. Both of these men volunteered about 400 hours each to get Isabel's home built. Richard Gilmore and his wife, Dr. Robin Plattenberger, were instrumental as the family's "advocates". In addition to volunteers at the site, we had volunteers preparing meals and businesses who donated supplies and labor. We hope to get a list of donors compiled soon so these business can be recognized publicly. We also wish to acknowledge the Builder's Club donors who contributed $3,775 to this home. Wow! What a blessing you have all been and we cannot say Thank You! enough. We pray that Isabel and her family will be blessed by the contibutions of the community and her family will thrive in their new home. May God bless you all. <br />Lynette SieversLynette Sievershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09931032348596099459noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5751950975822546746.post-6568738700387769042009-10-03T18:25:00.001-07:002009-10-03T18:27:43.003-07:00Dedication Day October 03, 2009 Part 5<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHsRDxRotqnRnBYPZHFiWng3eJsvwjSbSWycnjHruf7hsMVijzvh680UF9wuLudIk-PRMTxLL1vuv8OqSqNja3mi6zXU0VJs6u_1ZGwiCT3aMbyEsxJly16-j8KHAuubv9uBdVBGJcucoj/s1600-h/IMG_7890.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer;

Attendance was great considering the rainy day, it being a Saturday afternoon, and the fact that the Iowa Hawkeyes were playing at home. There were about 60 people in attendance.<br /><br />We began with Pastor Jim Cluney sharing from Exodus chapter 12 talking about the Passover Lamb in which the people were to mark their doorposts with the blood of a sacrificial lamb. When the Death Angel passed over the homes seeking to take the firstborn children and animals, it would spare all those whom applied the blood of the lamb upon their homes. Symbolically, we anointed the doors and the windows of Isabel's new home seeking God's blessings and protection upon all who enter her new home. Isabel's priest, Father Appel, offered a prayer and a blessing upon the home and Isabel's family. We then prayed over her and her children.<br /><br />Pastor Jim Cluney presented Isabel with a Bible in behalf of Habitat for Humanity. After touring the house we made our way over to First Assembly of God Church to have ice cream and desert while we watched the pictures from the house build. Many memories from the many days of working together were had by all. It is really hard to believe we started the build on July 6th and we are celebrating the dedication on October the 3rd.<br /><br />Many of our fantastic volunteers were there to share in the day of celebration.<br /><br />If you were not able to be there for this special day, we have captured most of it in pictures. We are offering a DVD with the pictures provided for the presentation which consists of about 350 pictures, or you can get the DVD that has all the pictures from each day we worked which has about 785 pictures on it. If you would like either disc they are only $5.00 each. Please contact Jim Cluney at (319) 653-1735 or email him at jcluney52@mchsi.com and place your order.<br /><br />Enclosed in the next few posts are the highlights of the Dedication Service and the finished house in pictures. We say finished, but the rain has delayed the finish work of the yard and drive way until sometime next week.<br /><br />Thanks again for all the wonderful people who have made it all happen. There were well over 100 volunteers this year!

The service will begin at the home, and then an ice cream social will follow at the Assembly of God church at 1602 E. Washington Street, Washington. Pastor Cluney will share the slides he took during the build at the ice cream social. We hope that volunteers, cooks, businesses, Building Club members, previous Habitat homeowners and the community will join us to celebrate the completion of our 16th home in the Washington area. If you have questions or would like to donate pies or bars to the ice cream social, contact Lynette Sievers at 319-653-6945.Lynette Sievershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09931032348596099459noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5751950975822546746.post-66956625852388854392009-09-08T18:37:00.000-07:002009-09-08T18:50:55.467-07:00Dedication postponedAt tonight's Board meeting it was determined that there are too many outstanding bills to determine the mortgage amount plus get the closing paperwork completed before the 19th. So, we are pushing back the date for the home dedication and volunteer recognition until the weekend of October 3th/4th. This is also tentative depending on bills and our lawyer having the time to process all the paperwork. Some key Board members were not able to attend tonight's meeting and we need to speak with them before deciding whether Saturday or Sunday will be picked. We are planning a dessert/ice cream social at a nearby church following the dedication. Stay tuned to this blogspot for final details. Volunteers who signed in at the site should also receive a note in the mail prior to the dedication ceremony. Thank you for your patience! We need to make sure this part of the housing process is done according to the letter of the law <br />In His service, <br />LynetteLynette Sievershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09931032348596099459noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5751950975822546746.post-4291959301117879032009-09-01T18:17:00.001-07:002009-09-02T16:32:56.988-07:00As things wind down at the building site, we want volunteers to know about the upcoming dedication service. It is tentatively planned for the late afternoon of Saturday, Sept.19th. Before that can happen, bills need to be in -and paid- so that the amount of the mortgage can be determined and the paperwork for the closing needs to be completed with the lawyer. So, while it may look like things have stalled out, very important things are being done behind the scenes to make sure everything is done correctly in time for Isabel to close on her family's new home. We hope many, many of the volunteers will come to the dedication ceremony. Over 100 volunteers signed waivers to work on the house this year. We may not have a big bus to move (like on Extreme Home Makeovers), but our services are very moving and we give the glory to God and ask for his blessings on this home and the family. We plan to have a meal after the dedication and give out some awards to volunteers and watch the slide show of the 600+ pictures that were taken during this year's build. So, watch this site for details, and watch your mail. We hope you can all join in with the celebration.<br /><br />In His Service,<br />LynetteLynette Sievershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09931032348596099459noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5751950975822546746.post-7097075410727717142009-08-20T19:57:00.000-07:002009-08-20T20:17:25.841-07:00August 20, 2009Just to give an update on the progress of this house build...<br /><br />Bruty's Carpet Corner finished installing all the floor coverings today.<br /><br />The electrical is 99% complete and we are waiting for the ground to dry out for Alliant to be able to bury the power and gas lines.<br /><br />Tomorrow we hope to have the kitchen counter tops come in so we can install them. Saturday we plan to finish up the base trim where the vinyl flooring was installed. We hope to finish hanging towel racks and the medicine cabinet in the bathroom. We have the window blinds ready to install.<br /><br />We will then be waiting for the plumber to finish up the bathroom stool, sinks, etc.<br /><br />Once the ground dries up we can pour the sidewalk and install the finished steps and handrails. Then there is some more landscaping that will add the finishing touches to the yard.<br /><br />Once again, if you have a couple hours, give Jim Cluney a call and schedule some time to help finish up the last minute things that need to be accomplished.<br /><br />We will be letting everyone know the exact date and time for the dedication ceremony for the house as soon as we finalize a few more things.<br /><br />Please plan to come and be a part of that fantastic day.<br /><br />Just a reminder, we will have available a DVD with over 350 pictures that highlight this year's Habitat build for a minimal fee of $3.00. If you are interested in one of these DVDs email Jim Cluney at jcluney52@mchsi.com and put your order in. We will be showing a presentation highlighting each day of the build process at our dedication ceremony.<br /><br />Keep checking back with this Blogsite and stay up on the latest news....Lynette Sievershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09931032348596099459noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5751950975822546746.post-6781631748557165562009-08-15T18:03:00.001-07:002009-08-15T18:10:26.896-07:00August 15, 2009<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi__Lf7SoIiCG0U_R086EjGLebziUZ53rim71n0LfD62Q9Nnyg2W7VfDpiDBA4h8U73LYG9wU7a_e4XfIRBTHBUUIV8PXsBwWl0GHF7NBJqma_yxJlNBjOST26LHpfQG7UzvcFOA0Jq3Dug/s1600-h/IMG_7603.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi__Lf7SoIiCG0U_R086EjGLebziUZ53rim71n0LfD62Q9Nnyg2W7VfDpiDBA4h8U73LYG9wU7a_e4XfIRBTHBUUIV8PXsBwWl0GHF7NBJqma_yxJlNBjOST26LHpfQG7UzvcFOA0Jq3Dug/s320/IMG_7603.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5370362078456737058" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoocaKSPJpTKFR6mp_b1ucEq_thBQxlbc3e4Rd3gLWz4qfUykbfYCzxin5E2p6nZHtRGaK1OJe50YWCdC6FJep1tB3DxW1unvsi5OdGQrrOswDVws1jX6U6ZD9yV-59yt78_Ij1vGCmDKb/s1600-h/IMG_7604.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoocaKSPJpTKFR6mp_b1ucEq_thBQxlbc3e4Rd3gLWz4qfUykbfYCzxin5E2p6nZHtRGaK1OJe50YWCdC6FJep1tB3DxW1unvsi5OdGQrrOswDVws1jX6U6ZD9yV-59yt78_Ij1vGCmDKb/s320/IMG_7604.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5370362071556995842" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPGYE7-XBiazZO9RyFPeELToTkb665MWNW7NdzIhNCotM0bFD6WlEHJDjpnzWS57nRzdFwE5Tn5pG_vbUJJfsR838NYImytGTuSxQlpTrYBEX8Gmq5_x1a-V6Z0iSfq2MayGmtVwpr23aK/s1600-h/IMG_7597.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPGYE7-XBiazZO9RyFPeELToTkb665MWNW7NdzIhNCotM0bFD6WlEHJDjpnzWS57nRzdFwE5Tn5pG_vbUJJfsR838NYImytGTuSxQlpTrYBEX8Gmq5_x1a-V6Z0iSfq2MayGmtVwpr23aK/s320/IMG_7597.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5370362060933441218" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZ_oJEc3k0vsp3hzrOtr3HNSvBp4fUzvPTO-CB9ZZwWbBIXc26L6amD-rS_80Drp1k-437Ox1mp-dch-VpZ8BQ-W3gnw-jGTZ2M5sxRh-0oh5rOJOgXR_hyphenhyphenurup3NuzHVHJtoNB7SARiiS/s1600-h/IMG_7595.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZ_oJEc3k0vsp3hzrOtr3HNSvBp4fUzvPTO-CB9ZZwWbBIXc26L6amD-rS_80Drp1k-437Ox1mp-dch-VpZ8BQ-W3gnw-jGTZ2M5sxRh-0oh5rOJOgXR_hyphenhyphenurup3NuzHVHJtoNB7SARiiS/s320/IMG_7595.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5370362052885450834" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjF_0Whnj1XiqedgBugj_Lv13CaUJ2jqewqRUQQ8sqI-75YSPGF707JTGzAHHfsELH3O0eeGT7nMz_xKSU051Ay1sbVHLtqF8kURYloKbf3RNyBR1Q-LkK9cT7-DOMlfeXhranbBlQ4ZAAp/s1600-h/IMG_7593.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjF_0Whnj1XiqedgBugj_Lv13CaUJ2jqewqRUQQ8sqI-75YSPGF707JTGzAHHfsELH3O0eeGT7nMz_xKSU051Ay1sbVHLtqF8kURYloKbf3RNyBR1Q-LkK9cT7-DOMlfeXhranbBlQ4ZAAp/s320/IMG_7593.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5370362042993142658" /></a><br />Today's work crew was smaller in numbers, but mighty in work accomplished. Leo Vittetoe, Nick Evanovich,Norman Brooks, Richard Gilmore, Isabel Tapia, Andrew Buendia, Jim Cluney, and Terry Miller made up the crew today.<br /><br />We finished putting on the base trim and door casing, except for where the vinyl flooring goes down. We hung most of the ceiling fans and a few more light fixtures. Most of the towel bars and bathroom accessories were installed.<br /><br />While most of us were busy inside, Terry Miller was busy outside moving the mountain of dirt around the yard and leveling the terrain.<br /><br />Isabel, Izzy as we have learned to call her, and her friend Andrew helped clean up all the wood chips and sawdust and paper from all the work that was done over the last two days. They even managed to get some paint on the closet shelf supports and some on themselves.<br /><br />We made a shorter day of it today since it was part of the weekend.<br /><br />Next week we will have Bruty's Carpet Corner installing the carpet and vinyl floor covering.<br /><br />We were one kitchen cabinet short and should get it in along with the counter tops by the end of the week. This will let us finish up the plumbing.<br /><br />Alliant Energy will try to get our gas and electric run to the house hopefully by this week also.<br /><br />We look forward to the storm doors coming in this week also. Then, if the rain doesn't mess us up, we will continue to work on the dirt, or mud, around the house.<br /><br />We are heading closer to completion, but there is still a lot of little things that still need to be finished up.<br /><br />There is always more opportunity for anyone to help that wants to.<br /><br />Please give Jim Cluney a call at (319) 653-1735 if you want to help.<br /><br />Thanks again to everyone who has helped!!!!!Lynette Sievershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09931032348596099459noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5751950975822546746.post-89746259900780628192009-08-14T18:13:00.000-07:002009-08-15T18:25:26.603-07:00August 14, 2009 - Part One<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgixEQdg4yS8eWJ_tR0qIgpGvGYY2UW0y8GAgHpC2BzL15wh3Jb2OkQoUdtWKu4XpJfp_Rd8b46ftP85_nHlDdmtHLekU90PqEy0seWVdoS9dVmbRKHL9s6TdI4Fuv3YTx1-sIdmXofCj3d/s1600-h/IMG_7589.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgixEQdg4yS8eWJ_tR0qIgpGvGYY2UW0y8GAgHpC2BzL15wh3Jb2OkQoUdtWKu4XpJfp_Rd8b46ftP85_nHlDdmtHLekU90PqEy0seWVdoS9dVmbRKHL9s6TdI4Fuv3YTx1-sIdmXofCj3d/s320/IMG_7589.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5370364717588883970" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivcJBmNl5hyphenhyphenh18eyl3dPxNebYqmQ5re9aKwqS45706t_8vzwxUYSXB-neRkH_vsTeh4uWKtN1fmjzM342M8es0CKxFzItCSpb021BZbgYwW2c3CE4It3mtLTtUq0RFMQ0cWJ4NfX1IEKlr/s1600-h/IMG_7588.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivcJBmNl5hyphenhyphenh18eyl3dPxNebYqmQ5re9aKwqS45706t_8vzwxUYSXB-neRkH_vsTeh4uWKtN1fmjzM342M8es0CKxFzItCSpb021BZbgYwW2c3CE4It3mtLTtUq0RFMQ0cWJ4NfX1IEKlr/s320/IMG_7588.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5370364707899379026" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNseWpqtH1I2j8Dh8LSuJmgASUXU-XRft57KfDDMEMx91ss3H1Qev1i__ljLfpl1g5e3nkorpFn5ADXtnyZ0xQHeZ3_3eXALxsbU3jj52ActPqVyyHR92qSLsUiNvuB2MxLHRORspxNGge/s1600-h/IMG_7587.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNseWpqtH1I2j8Dh8LSuJmgASUXU-XRft57KfDDMEMx91ss3H1Qev1i__ljLfpl1g5e3nkorpFn5ADXtnyZ0xQHeZ3_3eXALxsbU3jj52ActPqVyyHR92qSLsUiNvuB2MxLHRORspxNGge/s320/IMG_7587.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5370364698691040002" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhucI1IlkPL46zL7iKvO8KDzkC8YJ-COu2lqtg7yHHq3l-kzJCkaFeP2CR7R4RurkzOoYRkwQzDKQv_-aZs-SHow5jKI3X9bPQ7kYHOk3NlpzswMZZCbKJeM1PTJ-iTf-HTMqo0qgL4DlWG/s1600-h/IMG_7586.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhucI1IlkPL46zL7iKvO8KDzkC8YJ-COu2lqtg7yHHq3l-kzJCkaFeP2CR7R4RurkzOoYRkwQzDKQv_-aZs-SHow5jKI3X9bPQ7kYHOk3NlpzswMZZCbKJeM1PTJ-iTf-HTMqo0qgL4DlWG/s320/IMG_7586.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5370364690632820866" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLP-zPiAV6VDQ5OIsLksA0_4j_-SzqlRPR41QHI7UzhMlG9ACG0TGz9tC3m2rTaGbHhRkmo7wZ7DOubFFIJ_fVrWq06nJwZ_Vmp_x0LG-eKpEvR17W2DH9hksCivFdzAQavAxD3Wzv_aU9/s1600-h/IMG_7582.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLP-zPiAV6VDQ5OIsLksA0_4j_-SzqlRPR41QHI7UzhMlG9ACG0TGz9tC3m2rTaGbHhRkmo7wZ7DOubFFIJ_fVrWq06nJwZ_Vmp_x0LG-eKpEvR17W2DH9hksCivFdzAQavAxD3Wzv_aU9/s320/IMG_7582.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5370364684541702962" /></a><br />What a work crew we had today! Thank you, Nick Evanovich, Charlie Thompson, Charlie Phelps, Tom Hunt, Richard Gilmore, Norman Brooks, Leo Vittetoe, and Gary Scheeler for your help today.<br /><br />The kitchen cabinets came in today and most of them were installed. The interior doors and base trim came in and mostly installed. Closet shelves and coat rack poles were installed.<br /><br />It is really looking like a finished house now!<br /><br />Tomorrow the rest of the trim and cabinets will be finished up. We will be hanging the ceiling fans and smoke detectors as well. The bathroom fixtures and towel racks will be hung.<br /><br />If you want to help we will be starting at 8:00 in the morning. As we have said before, if you can't get here at 8:00, come when you can.<br /><br />We want to thank Carolyn Guenther for providing the meal today.<br /><br />Enjoy these pictures from today's build.....Lynette Sievershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09931032348596099459noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5751950975822546746.post-80922077328054114052009-08-14T17:54:00.001-07:002009-08-14T18:14:44.450-07:00August 14, 2009 - Part Two<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLS99lYHU13flk5nfGWaBlNxhzOm-DQAI0G2bSNY4kHwWQC680O8GID4EqQdEe90q52Kcv93Z7XMKBWkABJHsNNcIgLWmVsmCCuHdxEutezVqaVpd4ipQCWr07ZHPWRMlxwCiIitTGExFz/s1600-h/IMG_7591.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLS99lYHU13flk5nfGWaBlNxhzOm-DQAI0G2bSNY4kHwWQC680O8GID4EqQdEe90q52Kcv93Z7XMKBWkABJHsNNcIgLWmVsmCCuHdxEutezVqaVpd4ipQCWr07ZHPWRMlxwCiIitTGExFz/s320/IMG_7591.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5369988377623506738" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguUCuTgBogahc0sQH9Iuc54KOSXDc0xsvcxAkXXw51x4EzknER4FeD_zWd8fheYoPkmzPfmhydF3mxDBSQwI104MPaWdvSjE54J6fcWHWB6kXJljjYheIIQIp_0AistGWxo0QQnVTD30R2/s1600-h/IMG_7578.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguUCuTgBogahc0sQH9Iuc54KOSXDc0xsvcxAkXXw51x4EzknER4FeD_zWd8fheYoPkmzPfmhydF3mxDBSQwI104MPaWdvSjE54J6fcWHWB6kXJljjYheIIQIp_0AistGWxo0QQnVTD30R2/s320/IMG_7578.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5369988355217518546" /></a><br />Here are a few more pictures from today's build, enjoy...Lynette Sievershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09931032348596099459noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5751950975822546746.post-53101188352252760892009-08-12T17:19:00.000-07:002009-08-12T17:46:54.138-07:00August 12, 2009<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYTXOMZDNoEvfq8O5U2xvTkJNykzqVdkqT_Sk3o-lMFzj4ekVCAUdlSMHH4a7gGuscg7YREdZ6theVmmaJxroymM8WCE-4p1QwINwPWf0v-Kli5vIVoqqEBAALrdJEZFF3hYk59rR17OpX/s1600-h/IMG_7577.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYTXOMZDNoEvfq8O5U2xvTkJNykzqVdkqT_Sk3o-lMFzj4ekVCAUdlSMHH4a7gGuscg7YREdZ6theVmmaJxroymM8WCE-4p1QwINwPWf0v-Kli5vIVoqqEBAALrdJEZFF3hYk59rR17OpX/s320/IMG_7577.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5369242344705592162" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj05tuljOnDXI4iKXZhAiJKyM0NChFpwhUN-NXKvC14ZZT-ePITX2BvVkNseIfjWrP83u4GYx3I3iHpHVP9mpj4k3Qaz5uiJsqW6jwVNWMkYn6p1SU0bvoqJTpGSpSy6Jwd_0wRAUqAg5RI/s1600-h/IMG_7572.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj05tuljOnDXI4iKXZhAiJKyM0NChFpwhUN-NXKvC14ZZT-ePITX2BvVkNseIfjWrP83u4GYx3I3iHpHVP9mpj4k3Qaz5uiJsqW6jwVNWMkYn6p1SU0bvoqJTpGSpSy6Jwd_0wRAUqAg5RI/s320/IMG_7572.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5369242338622446658" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgja8c49KPTGzH9IEn9_pEh_otpSPurkiy-WhxWHPm3zRGNjvP3jaQeRKeZeVe5pUBJ3gE_A7f9tv5q8J2584HEYtcstQesosz3CnFp0LrC4WcRKt7CPhXNLHvgXhmCc19_oen0RNUeYYg4/s1600-h/IMG_7570.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgja8c49KPTGzH9IEn9_pEh_otpSPurkiy-WhxWHPm3zRGNjvP3jaQeRKeZeVe5pUBJ3gE_A7f9tv5q8J2584HEYtcstQesosz3CnFp0LrC4WcRKt7CPhXNLHvgXhmCc19_oen0RNUeYYg4/s320/IMG_7570.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5369242325219845554" /></a><br />We had another great work day today. Thank you, Dave Birney for bringing in your equipment and filling in the low spots in the yard and along the foundation. Over the course of the next few days the yard is going to look a lot different. Tom Hunt helped Jim Cluney put in most of the light fixtures today.<br /><br />Yesterday Ed Kielenstyne and Jim Cluney finished installing the sewer line in the back yard.<br /><br />Now guess what! We have the kitchen cabinets, interior doors, and trim all coming in by Friday! This is an absolute miracle since we were not suppose to get them for at least another week. God is so good! <br /><br />The schedule for work will go like this....<br /><br />Friday we can use anyone who will be able to help us hang interior doors, put down the base trim, install the kitchen cabinets, and install the shelves in the closets.<br /><br />We will plan to work Saturday to finish up what we might not get done Friday.<br /><br />By Tuesday or Wednesday we will have the carpet and vinyl installed.<br /><br />Counter tops will be here in about a week and then we can finish up the plumbing.<br /><br />Once the dirt has time to settle we will put in concrete for side walks and step platforms. The steps will then be ready to construct.<br /><br />We typically work from 8:00 in the morning until 4:30 in the afternoon. If you want to help and can only be there for an hour or two that is great.<br /><br />Please call ahead and let us know which days you can work so we can figure the number of people we need to feed at lunch time.<br /><br />Call Jim Cluney at (319) 653-1735<br /><br />It is amazing how fast things come together when everyone works together to accomplish a common goal.

Oh well, that means we will get a few days to rest up and hit it again in a few days while we wait for the right materials to come in.<br /><br />We will have a few small jobs to do on Friday that will consist of putting the shelves in the closets.

It was the day of the Paint Party!!!!<br /><br />We had about 10 volunteers help out today. All the rooms are painted now. Wait till you see these awesome colors! Reds, purples, greens, blues, and browns highlight the rooms. It truly is a side of Isabel's family that is individual and unique. Yes, Isabel ROCKS!<br /><br />You should have seen the faces of the kids when they got to see their rooms all painted up.<br /><br />We also want to thank Raph Gonshorowski for donating his time and materials for putting up the seamless gutters.<br /><br />The floors have been cleaned up from all the rosin paper and drywall mud and dust. The screens were put back in the windows, and preparation for finish trim and doors was done.<br /><br />Tomorrow we hope to lay the water lines, and sewer lines.<br /><br />Wednesday we will be installing all the doors and trim. This will really accent finish of the house.<br /><br />If you want to help, call Jim Cluney at (319) 653-1735.Lynette Sievershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09931032348596099459noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5751950975822546746.post-57412052274046517102009-08-01T20:04:00.000-07:002009-08-01T20:16:35.972-07:00August 01<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7zco4PFfJpcbQZPCGRgIAsMGsq_o2ZAaOvgU-lGzv-U984KUkgJYVwWEvMYsDfF_vuZSwPApUsx01XA4PPUYLxlW3MqNnbxK4xtWzXwHhztr_d2ygu1KCzXANRAlJQNzgOye6Qv2VaEN0/s1600-h/IMG_7496.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7zco4PFfJpcbQZPCGRgIAsMGsq_o2ZAaOvgU-lGzv-U984KUkgJYVwWEvMYsDfF_vuZSwPApUsx01XA4PPUYLxlW3MqNnbxK4xtWzXwHhztr_d2ygu1KCzXANRAlJQNzgOye6Qv2VaEN0/s320/IMG_7496.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5365199557776730418" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi04qNpOu8cYq-9rsd4cMxTjiemQzMDN7exvtPxdmsyz1kQImrq88AlIQmgwg7ZBIsMQ-AKTf7nuWk6p6UpBY282OlJ1PBLGgPzsHPH52P2qqzTG8K34buTGIVFS2jMMI3fnbJq0c_EvVdF/s1600-h/IMG_7494.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi04qNpOu8cYq-9rsd4cMxTjiemQzMDN7exvtPxdmsyz1kQImrq88AlIQmgwg7ZBIsMQ-AKTf7nuWk6p6UpBY282OlJ1PBLGgPzsHPH52P2qqzTG8K34buTGIVFS2jMMI3fnbJq0c_EvVdF/s320/IMG_7494.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5365199552964301394" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2htT3PhSVvNiRC5yCdyb_02Ctr90Nqg6yCnSJLoCs7pzUV2G4Z1Wn5ikH6KqwA1lUrexyd1lwPoejXN8ObHwyRc8sjiUoC2VEU8JPpsY-kK_Bmlrhhb7PwSu9Hosf0wa7IXaHIh1OcKku/s1600-h/IMG_7493.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2htT3PhSVvNiRC5yCdyb_02Ctr90Nqg6yCnSJLoCs7pzUV2G4Z1Wn5ikH6KqwA1lUrexyd1lwPoejXN8ObHwyRc8sjiUoC2VEU8JPpsY-kK_Bmlrhhb7PwSu9Hosf0wa7IXaHIh1OcKku/s320/IMG_7493.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5365199545799728802" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFODRwHcqtp_faQEkwRzuD20Yw5fzDUKoFzfASJni084q9EgJN3iJp8zm9xme2FaUAdM5633zLxX0ok1HOE6kGEeDd4Gtym40oGAXeOZheengqjwGSYzZBYqL5sIMonxZh1kEjNjeO_v6e/s1600-h/IMG_7490.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFODRwHcqtp_faQEkwRzuD20Yw5fzDUKoFzfASJni084q9EgJN3iJp8zm9xme2FaUAdM5633zLxX0ok1HOE6kGEeDd4Gtym40oGAXeOZheengqjwGSYzZBYqL5sIMonxZh1kEjNjeO_v6e/s320/IMG_7490.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5365199540353453410" /></a><br />Another great workday at the house.

Once that is done we will begin to clean up and get the house ready for finish trim and doors on Wednesday.<br /><br />Thank you Lynette Sievers for the great lunch today!<br /><br />If you have questions about scheduled workdays or any other questions, call Jim Cluney at (319) 653-1735.<br /><br />Drive by and see the house so many people have helped to build. I believe there have been something like 90-100 volunteers helping this year.<br /><br />Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!!!!!!Lynette Sievershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09931032348596099459noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5751950975822546746.post-59457231526940536512009-07-30T20:07:00.000-07:002009-07-30T20:23:59.883-07:00July 30 2009<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgY7cHMFBA3gyPNVBjSdg8LKjUtRK_yVgnor8jKGsK5dNKG6H8rH7ON9WlTSlptGZIChhfEhmoi0HDX7MfZRkGttzL3lca93mGStegNesPPExysLVoz01FUtL_7i_pFUgH2MbtbLrjA50hs/s1600-h/IMG_7484.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgY7cHMFBA3gyPNVBjSdg8LKjUtRK_yVgnor8jKGsK5dNKG6H8rH7ON9WlTSlptGZIChhfEhmoi0HDX7MfZRkGttzL3lca93mGStegNesPPExysLVoz01FUtL_7i_pFUgH2MbtbLrjA50hs/s320/IMG_7484.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5364458383295290498" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVxmvuYuQbQr8xwmjhoXyK-zOZctv7O3FIw4UnSovG17bP61ZdITxNjslq-VX022XM4D8k59cfcRcusSufXKxWW3FRVFS8JKFaFgyT8Jl2Xmswz4oLUrMPpec4tML3NeV8XOOtdpUeSr3D/s1600-h/IMG_7483.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVxmvuYuQbQr8xwmjhoXyK-zOZctv7O3FIw4UnSovG17bP61ZdITxNjslq-VX022XM4D8k59cfcRcusSufXKxWW3FRVFS8JKFaFgyT8Jl2Xmswz4oLUrMPpec4tML3NeV8XOOtdpUeSr3D/s320/IMG_7483.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5364458379381146082" /></a><br />Thanks to Shane Andrew, Walt Graffam, and Jim Cluney, the texturing of the ceilings and walls was accomplished today.

You go girls! I'm back in town, but am going to leave the blogging to Jim Cluney since he knows what's going on and when. Jim, you'll have to let me know about meals,etc. I don't have anymore lined up, but can make some calls if you're going to be working every day. I can call the Journal if we want to get the word out about the upcoming needs. Just let me know. <br />Thanks! <br />LynetteLynette Sievershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09931032348596099459noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5751950975822546746.post-41127034339650962892009-07-27T15:46:00.000-07:002009-07-27T16:02:21.151-07:00July 27, 2009<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHNG6vxrUZtAGF8xxpLmZjsWc3w70QKprlk15YfeJHqQ5rc_mnjLspFFBW9QuXV__dm1CgCRrQcNTT_1_aH5sehPFBg0Xb21_sVv7DERl2oxarHc2VyQ7esr7MtWozJ0TkREmwYCJjUFK8/s1600-h/IMG_7475.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHNG6vxrUZtAGF8xxpLmZjsWc3w70QKprlk15YfeJHqQ5rc_mnjLspFFBW9QuXV__dm1CgCRrQcNTT_1_aH5sehPFBg0Xb21_sVv7DERl2oxarHc2VyQ7esr7MtWozJ0TkREmwYCJjUFK8/s320/IMG_7475.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5363278747268865202" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhndmFLUw0fJCTpIO4lOKMuN9lvCv-3r2Jy2KqbXhPY_x91TAYMs5W5LGuNN_Juy7CS3C5Hvs1H6_og3CtS88eJYO71s58mfWeGXmuBzWmBrVyakOgpbZjoAnXZgUBUfEkVC2QVtm9JcB7H/s1600-h/IMG_7474.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhndmFLUw0fJCTpIO4lOKMuN9lvCv-3r2Jy2KqbXhPY_x91TAYMs5W5LGuNN_Juy7CS3C5Hvs1H6_og3CtS88eJYO71s58mfWeGXmuBzWmBrVyakOgpbZjoAnXZgUBUfEkVC2QVtm9JcB7H/s320/IMG_7474.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5363278738930377602" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0DvWb72pT1lP279VOHC1unVDcgFqSp9H9W-bZJjvmdprmRcs5kgWCqPz0AErDP3Hukz-VEuNaFCZ7NNALnKJ2MaF9-gFwDQfvNo4yedgGer7vqgET9Ns2HIIWXYVohF-5YcrtdX8fhSuP/s1600-h/IMG_7464.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0DvWb72pT1lP279VOHC1unVDcgFqSp9H9W-bZJjvmdprmRcs5kgWCqPz0AErDP3Hukz-VEuNaFCZ7NNALnKJ2MaF9-gFwDQfvNo4yedgGer7vqgET9Ns2HIIWXYVohF-5YcrtdX8fhSuP/s320/IMG_7464.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5363278731742921890" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSb6MCQwGYdasvTTMGAhrnJl-mOfSDiVc71KbF0TemmvwZ0ZlpUVX4K97GxRIQDuVN5QWc54hh9kcp_Qw24FZPRgftath8jUXTHrIb3uTQ7k86JXOD6U6ECfpqHkJL7L323nXeRHHSGbR9/s1600-h/IMG_7455.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSb6MCQwGYdasvTTMGAhrnJl-mOfSDiVc71KbF0TemmvwZ0ZlpUVX4K97GxRIQDuVN5QWc54hh9kcp_Qw24FZPRgftath8jUXTHrIb3uTQ7k86JXOD6U6ECfpqHkJL7L323nXeRHHSGbR9/s320/IMG_7455.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5363278723225847906" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQS1saPazhUEhsE7-Juk3r6iyR09Wt36RCqj3NxcPQvwMtFMCht7vjNFOANJjFLFdeT3zDDQwSEHX3iGNu0vbY3q2xrOtuphTOP3nZLfgIusbvxk4Flsg8vFn79KYNP7ypjzHXgqfp6TAl/s1600-h/IMG_7453.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQS1saPazhUEhsE7-Juk3r6iyR09Wt36RCqj3NxcPQvwMtFMCht7vjNFOANJjFLFdeT3zDDQwSEHX3iGNu0vbY3q2xrOtuphTOP3nZLfgIusbvxk4Flsg8vFn79KYNP7ypjzHXgqfp6TAl/s320/IMG_7453.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5363278715189710386" /></a><br />Today was another productive day here at the Habitat build site. We were once again blessed with having four workers from CIVCO to help us.<br /><br />Today's accomplishments included putting sheet rock on the stairway walls going into the basement. We had to adjust the siding on the west end of the house. (Opps!!)<br /><br />Then there was the usual cleaning up of material scraps to keep things safe and looking good on the job site.<br /><br />The future game plan goes like this....<br /><br />Tuesday and Wednesday we will be finishing up the taping and mudding of all the ceilings and walls.<br /><br />Thursday and Friday we are going to texture the ceilings and walls.<br /><br />Next Monday, August 3rd, we are going to have a PAINT PARTY! We want to help Isabel paint her new house.<br /><br />Our goal is to start putting in the interior doors and trim in by next Wednesday and Thursday.<br /><br />A lot to be done yet, but with all the good help we have been having it will all come together rather quickly.<br /><br />Enjoy the pictures from today's work day.<br /><br />In His service, <br /><br />Jim Cluney filling in for Lynette Sievers.Lynette Sievershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09931032348596099459noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5751950975822546746.post-23594650919529153822009-07-24T18:42:00.000-07:002009-07-24T19:14:22.218-07:00July 24, 2009<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitBenLJcZty9oFu9dhkvpxXWod5zT2UvrikV-fUSqQ952V6gAh9OKgsA2Px4QvDJnVPvcqexdghg5DCRbCa1l5ud630F2nxT_TuHBHegQsZ6_sR_GfNfIi7sWZ-o_SME9uREojOv7YAjpr/s1600-h/IMG_7426.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitBenLJcZty9oFu9dhkvpxXWod5zT2UvrikV-fUSqQ952V6gAh9OKgsA2Px4QvDJnVPvcqexdghg5DCRbCa1l5ud630F2nxT_TuHBHegQsZ6_sR_GfNfIi7sWZ-o_SME9uREojOv7YAjpr/s320/IMG_7426.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5362214107617589794" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQOn8x80ijJmm60W7lBk6_QJrx0D5_PysBun45bOZGXWHOIWL_3-6a19p1_l0VYRLxo2nh5BFN5CXz-R5zQlspPpdymBCOaqY9ZdAwpWi2_HRgDYIjGvhDnMtkybMko0GzrnvlcEfcSC0p/s1600-h/IMG_7425.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQOn8x80ijJmm60W7lBk6_QJrx0D5_PysBun45bOZGXWHOIWL_3-6a19p1_l0VYRLxo2nh5BFN5CXz-R5zQlspPpdymBCOaqY9ZdAwpWi2_HRgDYIjGvhDnMtkybMko0GzrnvlcEfcSC0p/s320/IMG_7425.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5362214103322613346" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRehucnacjdS6-rXRXdOgl0ADYp58g0c4fuWMDERFmPCE0F1yfsq-2zSsVYe1ViMDpecRhIN8sVzSlWBiPaZpM43a4xSBQ5rE-4mXItzCEtUNSOoRmFyjh1CEeOSjtS4_85jN_nk8BlL-s/s1600-h/IMG_7423.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRehucnacjdS6-rXRXdOgl0ADYp58g0c4fuWMDERFmPCE0F1yfsq-2zSsVYe1ViMDpecRhIN8sVzSlWBiPaZpM43a4xSBQ5rE-4mXItzCEtUNSOoRmFyjh1CEeOSjtS4_85jN_nk8BlL-s/s320/IMG_7423.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5362214094950726722" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrPUYJKk00ndlg77BsS53tGbkd1Umm35RCbVgdriC4OxkydswJ5lrHEPhyRim8Hk5M4M_ADVDN8h9Lj-XyarlWQofWnfD2YzG69TUgqmxvb5HgpCrK6Ql8E4kF-_ZP5uBAJuDiwkmmhQ8q/s1600-h/IMG_7444.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrPUYJKk00ndlg77BsS53tGbkd1Umm35RCbVgdriC4OxkydswJ5lrHEPhyRim8Hk5M4M_ADVDN8h9Lj-XyarlWQofWnfD2YzG69TUgqmxvb5HgpCrK6Ql8E4kF-_ZP5uBAJuDiwkmmhQ8q/s320/IMG_7444.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5362214089736895058" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgvHGfi7D2YpwKYnjqCfq57DiVQMTEdoKJEdsY_dBZz7zemRdxl-gXLlSa8_-NGr34yKEmPWMc_XnqKSvd-vCDjYf7IWncRCA1C5oeU9Vkn7_DlucpoUwMXi9dHOBBC2ZpaA6BetZxuMST/s1600-h/IMG_7418.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgvHGfi7D2YpwKYnjqCfq57DiVQMTEdoKJEdsY_dBZz7zemRdxl-gXLlSa8_-NGr34yKEmPWMc_XnqKSvd-vCDjYf7IWncRCA1C5oeU9Vkn7_DlucpoUwMXi9dHOBBC2ZpaA6BetZxuMST/s320/IMG_7418.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5362214082692594178" /></a><br />Another great work day, even though we only had about 11 people, a lot was accomplished. The last of the siding was put on, the first coat of drywall compound (mud)was applied, thanks to Shane Andrew and Andres Lopez. Jim Cluney helped Dan Wittmayer and his friend from Ace Electric put in more electrical equipment. Isabel and her friend Andrew stuffed insulation around floor joists. Bob Vittetoe and Bill finished up the siding. Temporary steps were put on the east entrance of the house. Ed Kielenstyne and his friend continued roughing in the plumbing.<br /><br />WOW is all we can say accept, THANK YOU.....<br /><br />For the next few days we will let Shane Andrew continue to work his magic applying the drywall compound and get it textured and ready for paint. We will assist the new homeowner in painting. After that we will call in the team that helps with putting the finish trim, doors, and kitchen cabinets in.<br /><br />We are getting closer every day to completion.<br /><br />Want to help?
