Today's progress and learnings....It's June 1



Today we worked on getting the rest of the plaster off the front wall. The picture shows Daryl taking it down. Salisbury Christian School graciously said we could throw our trash in their dumpster! That is a saving for us!


In addition to that, we are learning that the cost of renovation is out of this world!!!! Today we got a bid back on the ramp in the front, a sidewalk, and handicap parking pad. I knew we were in trouble when the contractor asked me if I was sitting down... nearly $25,000... $19,000 of it was for cement! Guess we are learning that plan B is a good option more often than not! And yesterday the one contractor told us that to do a drop ceiling in the sanctuary would be $14,000! NO WAY! That is way way too high! Good thing another contractor is about half that!


Oh well, it's God's ministry center and he will work it all out!


The second picture is of the sign in daylight!
