"Who hears these words of mine & puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, & the winds blew & beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. But everyone who hears these words of mine & does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. The rain came down, the streams rose, & the winds blew & beat against that house, & it fell with a great crash."

Matthew 7:24-27

Kitchen


Since we are done with the entry way floor at our house.  We decided to start on our kitchen.  We are refinishing the cabinets, installing a new sink and faucet, putting in tile floor, and installing a dishwasher.  Currently we are in the demolition stage of taking out cabinets to fit the dishwasher and stripping the paint off of the cabinets we are keeping.  I also need to build a cabinet to fit between our new dishwasher and the wall.  It's a fairly involved project.  Here is a picture of our progress.  Well, I better get at it.

3 Weeks in...

I've been at my new job for 3 weeks now.  It's been a blast so far.  I really enjoy working with everyone at Orchard Hill.  This week will be a little test.  Dave Hansen, the guy who is training me and who's position I'm taking over is on vacation this week.  I'm on my own this week.  He'll be back for 4 days and then I'm taking over for good.  My favorite parts of the job are interacting with the staff, people from the community that use the facility for events, and setting the chairs for Big House and Sunday services.  Today I got to venture to the roof.  The last couple of weeks there have been some leaks from all the rain that we received and the wind blew some of the shingles off.  The next non-rainy day I'll be going back up there to make some repairs.
