Thank you Denver Adults

Right on schedule, the group finished rough framing the Half-way house.

They finished shingling the roof,
attaching stucco wire,

wiring the second story

and installing doors.
In the afternoon the keys were turned over to Carlos, the director of the Rehab Center. Later in the evening Carlos and his leadership team came to visit the group and share a cake. We enjoyed watching slides of the week and singing together "How Great Thou Art" in Spanish.
Saturday morning the group crossed the border and they are on their way back home. Pray for safe travels.
Thank you again 3rd CRC!

Walking by Faith


Dale, as the new guy, got to try out the stairs first!



Wednesday, the half-way point

Wednesday the group continued to work on the half-way house.

The walls on the second story were made, covered with stucco (chicken) wire, and raised.
Interior walls are also in place.

The stairs were finished, and nailed in place.

The wiring on the first floor is almost done,
there was some destruction work to be done as well.
At the end of the day, this is how the building looked.
We again had a great meal, great devotions and singing, and Scott was presented with a red flag to keep in his pickup for hauling loads that stick over the tailgate.

Tuesday was another good day

The team worked on several tasks yesterday: finishing and delivering the trusses, instaling the trusses on the first floor roof,

building a deck for the second story,


installing the electricity,

and making a stairway.

All went well with only one minor injury.

Then it was back to Pancho Villa and another great dinner by Gladys, Donna, and Kelley!


After devotions, two outstanding team members (Steve and Mark) were honored for their outhouse building abilities in past years.


Then to pingpong, table games, or bed.
