First- the Ron update-  Ron was released seen and released last night.  It is cellulitis, and he was given some antibiotics.  He got a little extra sleep and came and worked with us again today.  As I type this, he is sitting at the table chatting with others who are still up.  Thank you for your prayers.  He is going well.  

The chimney job is coming along.  We took a long flexible tube/pipe and put it down the chimney and hooked it up to the water tank. We still have to cap the top, but had to wait for some mortar to dry.  We think we will be done by noon tomorrow.  

The paint job on the inside is having challenges.  We primed and "Killzed" the ceiling, but a lot of past "whatever-is-on-the-ceiling" is bleeding through.  We thought that when we sprayed the texture on the ceiling, it would cover because of the Killz we used but it looks pretty bad.  We are going to try again tomorrow to paint it.  It just got a lot harder to paint because of the texture.  We also textured the wall and will paint that tomorrow.  

Bob also did some landscaping.  He cut out three big growths of something like a tree/bush.  (Someone suggested they might be "tag elders?")   The back yard looks remarkable different.  

So all we have left to do is cap the chimney, Killz, prime, repaint the ceiling, paint the walls in the living room, clean up, and put all the furniture back.  

Big news!!!  Our website is launched!!!  www.bethetool.org is live!  Go and check it out if you would like.  (Rod is most proud of the FAQ's).  If you look at it, I'd love to have your feedback on it.  -  

We still haven't taken many pictures.  Erin has taken some pictures, but I just haven't put them on the internet yet.  Maybe tomorrow is the day for pictures.  

Someone asked me today about making donations.  You can do that on our website.  Give it a try!  (no really!  It's fun!)  

Ok-  Thanks for walking this with us! 

Rod

Are you a tool?

Christ has no body on earth but yours,
no hands but yours,
no feet but yours.
Yours are the eyes through which Christ's compassion for the world is to look out;
yours are the feet with which He is to go about doing good;
and yours are the hands with which He is to bless us now.
