The house is finished!

Before

After

Psalm 127:1  (NCV)  If the Lord doesn’t build the house, the builders are working for nothing.

Our work here was the combined effort of Long Beach Church of Christ, Gateway Church, A Church of Christ, Arlington Church of Christ and Ensenada Church of Christ.  Thanks to everyone who had a part in making this project a success.

18 Jul 06 Mexico Mission (Day 5)

Ahead of schedule is not a familiar word for most of our mission trips.  On schedule is not even a familiar word.  But this year we finished ahead of schedule.  By the close of business yesterday (Monday) the house was in a "finished" state.

The house is at the point where we stop working and the owner of the house continues working.  The work she will do will be interior painting, contracting a plumber to have the toilet and sinks installed, hiring a professional to do exterior stucco and other detail work.

Since we finished ahead of schedule and have decided not to start the work on the church building (more on that later) we find ourselves with two days with almost nothing to do.  So, today we will go back to the house and put on a coat of paint.

The doors are scheduled to be installed this morning and the windows are scheduled to be installed this afternoon
