It’s amazing what willing people can accomplish so quickly! Since our last post drywall has been hung, mudded, taped, sanded, corrected, sanded etc. GDI Drywall did an awesome job- all you guys are pros at what you do and always with a smile! I will be honest.. painting felt like a huge task… 14,000 square feet of drywall & 85 gallons of paint…- 1 coat of primer, sanding, 2 coat of paint- well…. it’s done! Thanks to a team of eager volunteers young and old- painting was completed in 350 man-hours over a span of 10 days. We hosted 3 large crew days and many hours in between.
Thank-you goes out the Garry of Top Coat painting who taught all the do’s and don’ts of painting and co-ordinated supplies- we all learned some new techniques! Need to acknowledge Garreth at McPhillips Street Paints- you took great care of us! Throughout the week Terrence was on site working away at painting, touch-ups, cleaning and making sure it all looked great – thank-you Terrence!
Shawn and Josh are now working at the electrical finishing- hanging lights, switches, plugs etc. Doors will be on site next week and will get installed followed by a coat of paint. Then onto floors, sounds, toilets, furnishings etc. Lastly we will need to get our occupancy permit approved by the City- as we have been doing everything according to specifications we anticipate this to go well!
Please continue to thank God & pray for grace to complete this project, for the remaining finances to come in and for God’s will to fully come to pass in this space!
