Current Work on the House

Jeff's dad and mom have arrived. It has been great seeing Kaylee interact with them.  Jeff's dad has been a great asset to him as they work on the house and having mom at home with me has been great.  We have been doing some shopping downtown and playing a lot with Kaylee.  I even helped lay some insulation today.

Here are the most recent pictures of the house.  I don't have any of the insulation yet.  We just started that part of the day.  The water tank is almost done and dad and Jeff have gotten all the outlets and light switches in so they are now ready for insulation and dry wall.  Yeah!

Work Team On Their Way To UB

The two work teams did a fantastic job.  We can't thank them enough for all the hard work they have accomplished.  We have the house pretty much closed in with all the windows in.  All that is left is the shed and inside of the house.  We have been so blessed by all the people who have helped us on our house.

Jeff bought some mare's milk for everyone to try out.  No one gagged or threw up.

Roofing and siding

The house is really coming together.  Here are some most recent pictures of the house.  Everyone has been working hard and they are tired every night.  Please pray for strength as they finish their time here.  The work they are doing here will help us be a blessing to the Mongolians.

Second Team

The second team has arrived and it has been great getting to know everyone.  They worked hard today.  Ken, Mick, our friend Dustin, and two Mongolian workers finished up the rafters and now we are working on getting the house ready for siding.  Here are some new photos.

2nd Floor

Well the guys have been busy at work.  They have 2 1/2 walls done on the second floor and a YWAM team came from France who had a plumber and electrician.  The electrician laid out the cable through the first floor and the plumber got the pipes ready in the bathroom.  God has truly blessed us with great help.
