End of January Update

Well we have successfully hosted the Calvary team once again. They were amazing with the amount of work they accomplished and really gave us a big push towards being ready for our new children's home move-in. Among the many things that the team did was installing the pressure tank seen in the picture above and built this little shed around it to protect it from the elements and the kids. We painted it white for now to protect the wood and will one day soon let the kids get creative and paint a mural on it.
Since the teams departure we have been nusy organizing different trades coming in to install their products. We had 4 more exterior doors finished and installed and have ordered 3 more doors that should be finished in a couple weeks. We have had windows in house 6 installed and just today bought the materials for the 5th houses windows. Tomorrow the countertops are coming to begin their installation. Eduardo and Roy and I will continue with the tile installation in house 6 while monitoring all of these trades.
For those of you who are following the blog with regularity may have noticed that I just changed the house numbering system that I have been using to date. From here on out we will be referring to the houses in the order they appear on the plans starting from the lower right corner being house 1 and going to the top left corner being house 6. So in our order of things we have houses 1,2,3,5 and 6 built. House 4 has yet to be built.
