Saturday Help

This Saturday the 21st Werner could use a few people to come out and help in the basement. The following Saturday the 28th there will be a need for many people. So if you are able to give of your time on just one of these days, Werner would ask that you come on the 28th.

If you come tomorrow could you please bring mops, buckets, scrub brushes as they will be cleaning the block walls and floors to get ready to Kilz.

Also there are new meal dates available if you would like to sign up for one. You can click on the link over to the right.

Possible Work Day and Progress

This Saturday (February 21st) will be a possible work day out at the Naomi house. Please check the blog on Friday and weather permitting we will post about work that continue on Saturday.

Wanted to let you know what progress has been made so far. Main floor and basement are basically gutted. All the brick has been removed except for that which is surrounding the garage. The exterior of the sun room has also been torn off including all soffit and facia.

Insurance inventory continues to be a slow process, but progress is definitely being made. Please pray for wisdom and accuracy.

Thanks for all of your help. Watching all of you come together to help has been such a blessing for their family and for the rest of us to witness.

Check back here on Friday to see about the work day on Saturday.

Thanks
Sheryl

H*nda Update and Prayer Request

I just heard from Jill and want to relay the newest information to you. As you know this was the week that H*onda should have come out to do their investigation. They just found out that they will not be there now until Feburary 24th. As you can imagine, they are very upset. This will have been 7 weeks since the fire.

Please pray for peace while they wait!

Also demolition is still going to continue with the garage in the way. Pray that as soon as the cars are gone they will be able to begin new construction and be ready to go.

Not to tell you what to do...but would you please leave a comment just to encourage Jill and Werner.

Thanks,
~Sheryl

More Fun For the Men

Time to take off the brick!! This Saturday, Feb 14th, Werner will be out at the Naomi house at 8:00. If you are able to make it, feel free to come and go at any time throughout that day. Please bring sledgehammers, chisels, hammers and ladders if you have them. ALSO bring safety glasses.

Thanks,
Sheryl

A HUGE Thank You

I am posting this message from Jill:

Saturday was an amazing day at the house. God blessed us with perfect weather...couldn't have been better. No snow, no rain and best of all the sun was shining!!!!

We had about 25 people there and got more done than I could have ever imagined. We filled two 40 yard dumpsters. The main floor interior is gutted. There were men everywhere (oh, and Michelle & I) with crow bars,wheelbarrows, sledgehammers. Things came down quickly. Werner tells me that this type of work is fun. I'm not so sure that my legs feel that way today.

Anyway, thank you to all who helped. Once again, we can't believe how blessed we are to have the friends we have.

We will hopefully be taking off brick and gutting the basement next. Stay tuned!!!

Saturday IS a Work Day for Men

This Saturday, February 7th will be a work day for the men out at the Naomi home. If you have heavy duty trash bags, would you please bring those with you. Werner plans to be there by 9:00, come out whenever you can.

Thanks!

Possible Work Day for Men

If things go as Werner and Jill are praying they do then they should be able to start clearing some more things out of the Naomi house. Men will be needed this Saturday, February 7th. Please keep checking back for further details. Just wanted you to be aware that this is a possibility. Pray that things come together with all the parties involved so they can begin to clear out.

Thank you to all of you who have filled up the meal calendar. I will be adding more dates in a couple of weeks.

Thanks,
Sheryl
