In this picture Dan and Sonny are cutting down the old exterior doors to use in the toilet stalls as doors. The dust you see coming out of the windows of the restrooms is from four guys that have grinders and they are grinding off the old paint and scoring the concrete so that the new tiles going on the walls and floor have something to hold on to.
You can see the new doors getting painted the primer coat. The roof on the building that is very shiney is what Lee and I did yesterday.
This is Stan cutting some tile. Stan and his wife Julie organized the people together for this trip. They take people on building trips such as this 7-10 times a year to different parts of the world.
You can see 3 of the 13 new doors that are going to be put on. The guy in the black shirt is Pastor Cliff. It is from his church that most of the people on the team have come from. Pastor Cliff and his wife having been pastoring at their church for 25 years and for that, the church gave them some money and asked what they wanted to do with it. They said that they wanted to come and remodel these buildings at the Bible college.
This is one of the dorm rooms with the new tile installed, they had started grouting back in the corner. All 10 dorm rooms have been tiled now and half of them are grouted.
This is where I have been spending the last couple of days. We got the old perlins ripped off of this building. got the new ones put on and the ceiling insulated. The guy in the white cap, Lee from North Carolina, and I got half of the new roof put on today on this building.  
You can see a couple of the tile saws that we are using and some of the tile stacked up in the background.

Wow, looks like a lot of major cutting, sawing, banging, etc. etc. is going on there. " Look out, the gangs all here"!! It's like "Extreme Home Makeover" with everyone working like wildfire to get it all done in a week and a half!! Looks like God's Army at work!! We're praying for everyone's safety as they do God's work and to get done what God has intended you to accomplish!!
Lots of love, Mom, Dad, Ethan, and Bradon
