Work Day Accomplishments

I arrived at the building at 7:00 to trim some hedges before everyone got there at 8:00 and found Josh getting an early start on finishing the walls in the foyer. As far as I know, Josh was the selector of the green colors and the planner of the work in the foyer as the leader of the South Lexington Life Group.

Many members of the South Lexington Life Group contributed to prepping and painting the foyer. ( Paul and Tracy Barth, Josh and Kresta Wilson, Lynn Wilkerson and Jaren )

Other contributors were Eric Nieland, Kim Hind and Lewis Jones (seen here)

Shortly before 8:00 AM, Mike Brady rolled into the parking lot with a load of mulch, Ronnie Brock and a sledge hammer.

I had to leave at 8:50 to take Adam to a baseball game, and by that time, Kim had arrived with a sledge hammer of her own.

Kim gave Ronnie a much needed break, but really didn't break off as many bricks per hit. I don't think she spent as many hours on the baseball field.

Later, Kim and Ronnie cleaned up all the brick debris.



While Kim helped Ronnie, Matt helped Scott with the sanctuary lighting. Scott was determined to finish the job before leaving.

Scott and Matt have both worked two other days to be in position to finish the job today. Knowing the Matt had other plans later in the morning, the focused first on the assembly of all the lamps and ceiling fans so that Scott could finish the job.

After dropping Adam off at the game I returned with Becca, who helped take hedge clippings and the remains of Kim's annual "bush to tree" campaign to the water basin, pick up trash around the property and play with Cameron.

After about 90 minutes of work, she decided it would be more fun to pester Scott while he worked.

The Jones Family arrived in the heat of the day to finish Becca's job. They cleaned and swept all the paved surfaces and took trimmings to the water basin. They also did some minor fill in work where holes showed up in the lawn.

In the afternoon when I returned to finish the hedges and repair a leaking toilet, I found everything cleaned up and piled neatly. ( a trademark of the Jones Family )
