2nd Floor

Well the second floor will be finished this week and we will be moving in or at least Jeff will.  Kaylee and I will be staying with our friend Laura until we leave on Sept. 7th.  There are still too many non-kid friendly things hanging around.  Please continue to keep Jeff in your prayers especially as these final stages are quite taxing for him sometimes.

The wallpapered part is light blue but it is kind of hard to tell.

House

Here is some more updated photos.   While we have been in UB are Mongolian workers finished putting up the drywall on the second floor and insulated the 1st floor.  Unexpectedly our landlord wants to move back into their apartment early.  So, we will be coming back to BH and moving to our very unfinished house in a week.  Kaylee and I will be staying with our friend Laura until we leave for the UB on Sept. 7th.

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.
