Getting the Word Out

We were at a restorative justice conference today. We had a ministry booth there and were networking with other like-minded ministries. It was a wonderful day of relationship building. The host, Eagles Nest Ministries, is starting a ministry similar ministry to ours and they are very established in recovery ministries already. They have a 16 acre property with plenty of building space as well.

The Roof is Finished!

The roof was finished today. The House of Hope guys and volunteers worked many hours to make the house close to straight and replace all of the roofing and much most of the trim near the roof line. With it done we will begin the outside trim so we may paint before the rainy season. 

Work Day!

Most of the siding was hung today. 

We must rebuild the front and back walls in the middle of the house. That work began today too. This is the front of the house with the middle wall removed. 

Another section of roof. Check!

We finished another section of the roof! One section left.

Work is in progress on the first dormitory.

The interior work has begun. Most of the drywall must come out. Electrical work has begun as well.  

Exterior work is in progress. The first dormitory is getting a new roof. Siding will be next. 

The house is on site

The house is at Restore and it needs A LOT of work. It did not travel well, but we have begun to fix it and make it livable. The roof is being done by supervised volunteers from the House of Hope.

We will have a work party on Sept. the 6th. We will be removing drywall and placing hardy plank on the exterior. You are invited. Bring hand tools if you have them.  

The house it on temporary wheels!

This house is being moved to the property we are leasing. It is up on wheels and is prepared for moving! It doesn't look like much now, but it will be amazing one day. We will be starting the remodel of the house once it is set up at Restore Texas!

A Cleared Office

The office was cleared today. We will move to set it up quickly in the days ahead. 

The Carpentry Shop

This is AOA's handy work. We have more demo to do, but it is coming along. 4400 square feet of ceiling gone!

Demolition begins

We want to thank the Alpha Omega high schoolers that came out to help us demo the ceiling out of the new shop. Thank you! This was the second time they came out to help the school get on its feet. 

We have granted use of a house!

We have been granted use of a house on the property we are leasing! It will be moved to the property soon. We will provide the labor to remodel the bathrooms, kitchen, floor plan, and flooring and more. We praise the Lord and thank the saints that will help us make the house livable!
