What a fantastic day! So much was accomplished today, unfortunately our pictures are having a hard time being uploaded. I promise as soon as I can get them up, I will, so keep checking back.
Just a little recap of today - our wonderful electricians from McGuire Electrical came back and finished up the job! They have put so many hours into this project and the entire time, they've been so fun to be around. A great group of guys - and can we say, perfectionists? =) That house is going to be amazing!
We had about 25 volunteers come out to work on the backyard. Redoing the landscape, getting the playground area ready for the sand that has been donated, trimming vines, working in the garden, trying to chop out stumps, etc. Our volunteers were great! They showed up early and stayed until after dark.
Special thank you to Whataburger, Pizza Hut and Sonney's for donating food for us throughout the day. It makes it so much easier to keep everyone going and getting a lot more done in the process. The yard looks great, we still have some things to do, but it really is looking fantastic - can't wait to post some pictures from today so you can see the progress and the fun volunteers we had. And in case you were wondering, we do have some fun volunteers.
We're updating our vendor list all the time - so please make sure you're checking out that list and that you visit these businesses. They have been very giving and encouraging and they are making it possible for us to get closer to the goal bringing the family home to live in their newly renovated home!
Also pray - with the reveal a week from tomorrow - we still have so much to do and most of it is contingent on everything else being done. If you'd like to help, in any way at all, please let me know. Lots to do, still need some donations of items, food, and mostly time. =)
