Getting ready for the walls to go up

This week the laborers have been hard at it. Most of the work has been getting things cleaned up. There are 50 drop in lights that we are re-using to save some cash. They are being cleaned and stored for when the walls and ceilings get put in. More concrete has been torn out - making way for flat floors throughout the building. Here's what's left for all of you out there looking for somthing to do. We need to finish cleaning the drop in lights, sweep the floor, take some old doors to the habitat re sell store and we have old concrete that can be taken to the land fill. All this prep work is getting us ready to begin building next week. Wohooo!

Oh - the electritians have been in and are getting home runs put in. That's basically getting the electrical lines from the power source to an area in the building where they can be droped into a room once the walls are up. Cool stuff.

PERMITS ARE IN!!!! YEA GOD!

So we have permits! AWESOME! Now it's time to crank! Get ready to put the big wheel in motion and do some building. I will be at the building tomorrow (thursday May 22) from 6:30pm till 9pm! Come on and join me as we get ready to build!

When to get your hands dirty at the new building

Get your hands dirty at the new at the new building anytime during the day M-Saturday from 8:00am - 4:30pm and Tuesday or Thursday from 6:30pm-8:30pm. We've made it easy if you don't know what to do. Go to the work table in the middle of the building and grab the clipboard. We have both general and skilled labor jobs that you can help out with.

Just check out these pictures. Jason Davis gets crazy running the bob cat and Kevin Frank and I take a load out to salvage. Good Times!!

Building Plans Are In For Permiting

Praise God, our building plans have finally gone before the Hot Springs permitting department. It's taken a while to get all the drawings together but it's finally done. We had an old saying in the business world I use to use, is it done or is it done done? It's done, and it will be done done in the next few days when we receive permits and begin the construction phase of the building project. Please pray for this to be a smooth process and for God to be in the middle of everything we do.

The building team (Jerry Edgin, Rachael Pullen, Steve Dabbs, Kevin Frank, PI Scott, PG, and Lee Niles) made calls to suppliers and potential vendors this week. We now have over 24 bids out. In another week we will begin awarding bids and receiving the building materials to get things really rock'n.

Everyone is doing an awesome job with demolition and helping to complete the few remaining demo projects. All the work is paying off. As soon as we have permits we will be ready to begin construction. Thanks for all your help - we will see new walls going up before we know it.
