Here's the multi-purpose room that is being finished with the "glet"! What's that? Well, the interior block walls are covered with stucco. In order for us to paint these walls something has to put on the stucco. This glet, which is like drywall mud, but all hand mixed, creates a smooth finish so the paint will adhere better and look nicer. He is almost finished with the mutli-purpose room and should be finished either Monday or Tuesday.
After that, the Lord willing, we will paint the ceiling. Then before we paint the walls we must have the heating system installed on the floor and then cover that with a final coat of concrete. After the concrete drys, we will paint the walls! There's also some sheetrock to be hung downstairs and interior insulation to be put upstairs.
There are other men working on the interior stucco on the downstairs walls. The crew that was too come, never came and we decided to go a different route. This route is slower for it's all done by hand but it is cheaper. The only drawback is, it takes longer. However, we felt like we couldn't just keep waiting and waiting.
We also had 3 more doors installed downstairs as well. As mentioned in prevoius posts, we've had to make decisions based upon what is most important concerning the finances. We have decided to try to get the downstairs finished first and then as finances are able, we will continue with the upstairs, the well for running water, septic system, security wall, landscaping, etc.
Continue to pray for God's leadership and wisdom! It's encouraging to see how God has helped with the Youth Center and we have no doubt that He will work everything out according to His will
