Week 31-33

Week 31

 My sister and her family joined us

here on the island.

They spent their first few days helping us around

En Gedi.

 Adam was able to go over the plumbing

(checking to see if it was done properly)

and help finish/ fix a few problems.

 The littles were ready to help too, (in 2-5 min intervals :)

they did some sweeping,

 and wiping down walls.

 Week 32

 we all needed a break so we all loaded up in the car

and headed to Mobay for the week.

Week 33 

Cleaning up at En Gedi.

 Trying to set up shelves, and hooks to organize the stuff.

Going through piles from months of construction and figuring out what to keep,

and what to pitch.

 I am also trying to move what I can fit in the car and get it

put away.

 I also just found out, this week, that the sea container should be getting

delivered next week so I am trying to get the back porch/ garage

as cleaned up and organized as possible because I know things

coming off the sea container may need to be stored in there until we are 

moved in, and their place in the house can be found.

Inside, curtains have been hung, some things have been placed 

on the walls, tile has been scrubbed, and scrubbed, and scrubbed

to get all the mortar and grout off. And I have attempted to

remove as much concrete dust as possible. Its everywhere. 

Over everything. Not Fun.

We are now trying to find a truck and some movers to help

us move the big things from KP to En Gedi. 

Lord willing in the next week or 2 we will be fully moved.

Prayers appreciated!

Week 30

So this was supposed to be the last week of work at

En Gedi. Sadly it won't be... maybe next week.

The outside is basically done.

  

 

 

 This week a small slab was poured

 out the back side of the house.

And finally the cabinets came in.

 The master bath

 the main bathroom

 and the kitchen.

 Because it took two days to install the 

counters, next week they will need to 

install the faucets and get all the pipes

connected.

and I got one of the cribs assembled and 

in the nursery. 

Prayers appreciated that we can get everything

done this week.

Thanks!

Week29

 Many hands make light work. That was my plan for 

this week and next week. Pull in as many people as

needed to get all the final projects done.

 Door knobs were installed this week

 the rest of the doors were installed.

 

Including the beautiful front door that the

amazing craftsmen at JDV made for us!

 

closet doors were installed.

 

The back porch was painted, windows added,

(didn't get a picture of that), and one of the 

reserve tanks were pulled on top.

 

the concrete work was finished on the exterior wall.

 and the walls have started to be primed and painted.

 If you look in the corner where the walls meet you can see the 

change in color from the primer to the paint.

  

and this week En Gedi got a drive way.

 

It poured rain about every afternoon.

 

 but even that was a blessing as they saw how water ran in

with the heavy rains so they knew how to slant and form the

drive way to work with the water run off.

 

Standing at the house looking towards the road.

 They even crafted me a few raised flower beds with retaining walls

to hold back the slope of the dirt.

 I am excited to get some flowers in there to add some color

other than 'dirt' around here.

 One week down. One to go.

All prayers appreciated as we wrap this project up!
