The House (simple) Church (planting) Project blog…exploring structure in a postmodern world
16 Mar
Well, I haven’t posted in a bit, so I figured I should. It’s Spring Break, and today Abby and I are going up to see our good friends Drew and Britt in Savannah, GA. We’ve been wanting to go up for a while, and this is the first time that we’ve had a chance. Out of coincidence, Savannah has a huge St. Patrick’s day party and parade tomorrow. It’s supposed to be the biggest party in the Southeast. Now, I’m not a big “party guy,” but it will be cool to be there and check it out.
Drew and Britt both work for The South Magazine, so they have a nice tent with chairs for the parade.
On the home front, this week was the first real “down and dirty” on the new house that we are remodeling. Two other guys and I spent all Tuesday and Wednesday (7 to 430) tearing down ceilings, walls, bathrooms, and trim in the 27 year old house. Another day or two the tear down stage will be complete, then we can bring in the HVAC, electrician, and plumber. We are shooting for a May move-in.
This project is pretty exciting for me, since it’s my first real field experience in construction. Once we finish this house, I’ll be building a house, which will give me more experience. I’ll be alternating working out in the field and in the office.
Having the alternating schedule is good! Yesterday my whole body ached, and spending a day in the office gave me a chance to recuperate.
