Thank you - 6

Progress continues with work on sheetrock! We're getting close now! A number of BIG 'Thank yous' are due. Here they are:

Jon and Joe at Riverview Home Improvement for their contribution with the siding.

Men from Constance: Lee, Mike, Ken, Rob, Chuck and of course Jeff for their time hoisting, cutting, and hanging sheetrock.

Just to be silly, I'm thanking myself for time spent working on the sheetrock. Not that I need the thanks, I'm just curious to see how closely you're reading :) Plus I'm very excited to be able to do something that I can handle!

And now, a much overdue 'Thank you.' We have been so very blessed to have many, many, many family, friends, businesses and people we don't even know help us with our project to date. Some have donated money, others time and still others materials. Some have even donated a combination of items.

Words seem so trite, but we do give our heartfelt thanks!

Chuck Hayes and the elders at Constance got us started with prayer and guidance.

Steve Cram and the Men's ministry at Constance for their incredible gifts of money and time to give us such a boost. Hope your knees are OK Steve!

Tim Grill and Pat Schmeichel of Independent Luxury Homes have been our amazing general contractors.

Deb Lehman has given us wonderful financial tracking.

Jeff Wunderlich has been our coordinator from Constance Free Church. He has been an amazing help in organizing, and working. He was instrumental in putting a hole in our house :) to connect the existing home to the addition. He also put his life on the line when cutting the trench for the plumbing. Ask him about his time in the hyperbaric chamber at HCMC.
