The Construction Trailer Arrives!

What a great Monday! The birds are singing, flood waters are receding, a fresh crop of dandelions make yards look like yellow gold mines, and....the long-awaited Harman Construction trailer arrives at WPC! It's still on the 18-wheeler here: 


Where to park....?

Within a few minutes the trailer was neatly positioned at the lower end of the parking lot.

I know what you're thinking: it's not the nicest looking trailer, but it is where a lot of the work will get done! Maybe the following pic will make it seem, um, prettier...nothing like a splash of red bud to frame a semi...!

While I'm at it, a big thanks goes to Herbie Garman for helping clean out the decrepit lawn shed by the Preschool entrance! Had the winds blown any more this weekend, that shed would be in the next county! Tornados, twisters, and strong winds in general look for structures like our dear little shed to blow to Kingdom Come. (Speaking of, there really is a Kingdom Come. I got lost once in Kentucky and wound up there, in the town of Kingdom Come. Truly. I kid you not.)

Not only did Herbie help clean out the decrepit lawn shed, he loaned us one of his sturdy vinyl sheds to use until our Presbyterian Men build a new one with recycled lumber from the old barn! Yay Herbie! Yay Presbyterian Men! Here's Herbie's loaner waiting to be put into place:

And here it is, in its new location, close to the construction trailer:

 This sturdy shed will house our lawn mower and other essential yard equipment during construction. Sadly, we will bid a fond farewell to the shed by the Preschool, since that's right where work will take place!

This week's plan is for the asbestos abatement to begin on Wednesday. Not sure if I'll be allowed to sneak pics of that work being done, but if I can you know I will!

Here are a couple more pics I took today of the church. We really do have a beautiful Sanctuary! 



I like the steeple through the red bud blooms!

I hope everyone has marked May 1 on your calendar! Our official Groundbreaking Ceremony will be a wonderful occasion! Let's fill the house with praise to God for the glory of the Easter season and the "new life" we're brining to WPC through our building project!
