Calvary Baptist Midweek Update

We have a team here right now from Calvary Baptist Church in Oshawa Ontario. This is a church that has been here 3 times before and this time has many repeat members as well. The team has been working on pouring patios behind each house which will be the bases for sunrooms that we will be building starting tomorrow. They also installed hose taps at the back of 3 houses that will be used to water the grass and gardens. The electricians on the team spent the first day sorting out some problems we had with our electric meter and the moved into installing a doorbell, and alarm system for our workshop and lights in the shop. Today they were also installing outlets at the back of each house to plug in the washers and dryers.
This picture shows the patios behind houses 5 and 6 with the bricks stacked up ready to build. My idea right now for the sunrooms is that they will have brick walls about a meter high and then a nice wood structure above that with mainly screen to allow lots of ventilation. The roof material is still not decided but I think a nice clay tile roof would really look sharp on each one. The team also moved our food storage shop to a new location freeing up more space for our playground that is coming in July. Still to come for this team is working on many sidewalks throughout our children's home property and making some modifications to our septic system as well as installing lights above our sports court.
