Looking more like a finished house!

During the first week after we returned home, Chuck continued to work on the house.  The main goal was to get the porch railing and stairs done.  And they managed to get it done.  What a blessing it is!

He also needed to complete the office.  So he would have a place to study.

The one wall was made into a book shelf.  It didn’t take long to fill it!

After that Chuck went into full time Ga’dang language study.  Off and on he had a couple guys continue working on some projects.

One of jobs that some men did was to plane down wood for flooring.  Eventually we want to put hardwood flooring over top of the plywood floor we have downstairs.  This wood is the stack on the upper right.  The stack on the bottom left is waiting to be made into kitchen cabinets!

We also had a visitor for a couple weeks.  Zach is a young man that is interested in missions.  He came to stay with us to see what tribal missions is about.  In the mornings he spent some time painting in the kitchen.  It really helps to break up the all-wood feeling in the house.

The built in bench was also installed in the beginning of the year.

On Saturdays Chuck continued to work on some projects.  It is a good de-stressor for him!  He made us a screen door.

Over the next number of months Chuck will continue to pick away at projects on the weekends.  First up is to put in kitchen cabinets.  It has been my dream for years to have Chuck build me my own kitchen cabinets.  It is finally my turn!  I can’t wait to see them done.

Thank you to everyone for your prayers and support as Chuck has continued to work on the house and also as he has begun language study.  (We will write more about that later!)
