Getting There

We have completed a lot of painting during the past two weeks, but there is still more to do here at Community United Methodist Church.  The chapel and three classrooms are complete with one long hallway left.

 

We created a little excitement on Tuesday: one classroom got a new wall which had been taped and sanded.  The sanding put a lot of drywall dust on the floor which we attempted to vacuum with a shop vac.  We didn’t realize that the filter was missing so the vacuum picked up through its hose and immediately blew the dust out of its exhaust.  When the air conditioning came on a sensor in the air ducts considered this to be smoke and tripped the fire alarm.  The in-house daycare had an unscheduled fire drill and the children did everything expected of them.  The fire department came to silence the alarm and verify there was no actual emergency and we got an unscheduled break.

 

In spite of all this excitement, the church would like to have Nomads back again next year and they are providing us with a luncheon tomorrow as a thank you.   

Yesterday Mike and Ruth went with us to meet Dave and Nancy for lunch.  We’ve missed seeing them!  Mike, Ruth, Dave, and Nancy worked a Nomads project in the past so they all knew each other.  We had a great time visiting with everyone! 

Last night everyone met for game night.  They tried to teach Bob and me the Mexican Train game.  It was a good time.  We’ve so enjoyed everyone on this project!  It’s been a hardworking, fun loving group, and we still have 4 days left.
