Ringin’ in the new year with hammers and nails

We’re ringin’ in the new year with a construction project.  That appears to have become the norm for us.

Are you tired of construction pictures yet?  Too bad!  We’ve got a week to go on this project.  In case you missed previous posts.  We’re working on a construction project through our church at Deer Ridge Ministries.  Click here to see what they do at Deer Ridge.

The food they’ve been feeding us is nothing short of extraordinary.  Sufferin’ for Jesus, I say!

For New Years Eve we participated in a murder mystery.  What a bunch of fun!  I’d do another one in a heartbeat!

We have tomorrow off and start all over again with new team members on Monday.  Our goal is to have the commercial kitchen, a full bath and a half bath done by Saturday evening, January 8th.  What do you think?  Will we make it?
