Woo - we are here! The morning started with us having about 31 hours left to go before the reveal. We have split everyone up - some people are going to different Targets to pick up gift cards, some are picking up the furniture, some are doing the final touches.
We will definitely be ready for 3:00 tomorrow.
Speaking of - we hope that all of you who are reading will be joining us. We would love to have as many people as possible there to great the family home. You'll be able to walk through the house in small groups and see the finished product. If you do come, we're asking that you park at Woodham High School - and we'll be shuttling people in. As you can see in last night's pictures - just with our cars there who were working, we really have overtaken the neighborhood.
At this point there are 28 hours left - if you have some free time and would like to help - come on out and join us. 7004 Dale Street. We'll be there most all of the night, and possibly overnight.
And just to let you know how great McGuire Electrical was - Mac was out at the house this morning at 3am doing his finishing touches on all the outlets, covers, ceiling fans, etc.
We have been so blessed with this project and I know the family will be blessed.
Check back for updates - I'll try to do it throughout the day. If nothing else, you can always find me on facebook -
*Update* 1:00am - I'm sitting in a finished bedroom!!! Yeah! The trim is in, the paint has been touched up, the ceiling fan installed, the door hung and painted, even the bed is made!
We still have a lot left to do. The vinyl still needs to be put down, the grout on the backsplash is being finished, more trim is being cut, doors are being painted, furniture is being cleaned, doorknobs installed, tub surround needs to be installed, window treatments placed, the toilets put in, lots of cleaning, etc.
While we still have a lot left to do, we are doing really well. I'm so excited about the reveal tomorrow - it really is a completely different home. we are all tired. Some of us have had very little sleep, but we can see the end in sight.
We love how different members of ur community have pulled together to really bless this family. Our electrician is even here doing whatever needs to be done - and he's not even doing any electrical work right now.
Our t-shirts were delivered ealier today. :) Big thanks to Red Iron Design & Robert Gilliard Marketing - they look amazing!
Also - I can't express enough how thankful our volunteers are for having been fed. Whataburger, Wal-mart, O'Charley's and Chili's all took care of us today. It makes it so much easierwhen everyone doesn't have to stop what they're doing just to go get something to eat.
