Mission House Preparations for Doug, Beth and Sarah Wright

WE HAD AN INCREDIBLE TURNOUT FOR OUR FIRST DAY OF CLEAN-UP! WHAT A TERRIFIC WORK CREW!

THANK YOU JOHN RUBLE FOR SUPERVISING! THANK YOU DUANE KAHLE, JEFF NASON, IKE LANEY, SHANE REGISTER, STEVE JONES, DAN SONNENBERG, RITA TAYLOR, PHILIP BROWN, AND DICK CRAFTS FOR THE HUGE EFFORT IN GETTING THE YARD BACK IN SHAPE!!

A SPECIAL THANKS TO TIM CAYTON WHO REPAIRED AND RE-INSTALLED THE WELL PUMP DURING THIS PAST WEEK. WHAT A HUGE JOB! WE SO APPRECIATE ALL YOUR WORK AND EFFORT. THANKS TO DICK CRAFTS FOR INSTALLING A NEW IRRIGATION CONTROL INSIDE THE HOUSE. THE YARD IS ONCE AGAIN BEING WATERED.

THANKS TO ALL WHO HAULED OFF THE DEBRIS AND TRIMMINGS TO THEIR RESPECTIVE HOMES TO BE BURNED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF, WHAT A UNIQUE GIFT TO THE CLEAN UP PROJECT! :-)

AND THEN THERE IS THE SUPER INSIDE CLEANING CREW, THEY REALLY MADE A HUGE DENT IN THE CLEANING LIST. WE HAD OUTSTANDING WINDOW WASHERS IN CAROLYN NEEDHAM AND JENNY MILLS. OTHER FOLKS EACH TOOK A ROOM AND CLEANED IT TOP TO BOTTOM AND INSIDE OUT. THANK YOU SHEILA RUDOLPH, WHO CLEANED SARAH'S ROOM; TAMMY CHAPMAN WHO TACKLED DANIEL'S OLD ROOM; PAM SOUTHERLAND WHO TOOK ON THE GUEST BATHROOM AND THEN HELPED RHONDA CAYTON AND BETTY BROWN FINISH UP THE MASTER BEDROOM AND MASTER BATH; DIANNE WOLFF WHO "SWEPT" THROUGH THE LIVING ROOM AND FOYER; SONDRA DRON AND RHONDA CAYTON WHO TACKLED THE STOVE AND REFRIGERATOR.

WE ALSO APPRECIATE THAT RITA TAYLOR TOOK ON THE JOB OF CLEANING ALL THE LINENS, DRAPES AND MINI-BLINDS. WE HEARD HERB MIGHT HAVE GOTTEN INVOLVED TOO, THANKS TO BOTH OF YOU!

LOOKING AHEAD TO OUR NEXT WORK DAY ON JUNE 7 THERE ARE STILL SOME THINGS TO BE COMPLETED. THE CARPET WILL BE CLEANED ON TUESDAY, JUNE 3, AND SOME OF THE FURNITURE MIGHT HAVE TO BE MOVED BACK TO THE BEDROOMS.

THE HALLWAY WALLS, DINING AREA, KITCHEN AND DEN STILL HAVE TO BE CLEANED TOP-TO-BOTTOM. THERE ARE STILL SOME INSIDE WINDOWS THAT NEED TO BE WASHED IN THE MASTER BEDROOM, DINING ROOM AND KITCHEN.

OUTSIDE WINDOWS WILL BE DONE AFTER THE YARD WORKERS PRESSURE CLEAN THE EXTERIOR SIDING. (DON'T WANT TO WASH THEM AND THEN HAVE TO GO BACK OVER THEM AGAIN.)

THE YARD CREW MAY ALSO RAKE IN SOME GRASS SEED THAT JEFF NASON PROVIDED.

THERE IS SOME CAULKING THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE ON WINDOWS, ETC.

ALSO, DOUG AND BETH HAVE SEVERAL BOXES AND OTHER ITEMS STORED AT DICK AND LINDA CRAFTS THAT WILL NEED TO BE MOVED AND PUT IN THE LIVING ROOM FOR DOUG, BETH, AND SARAH TO UNPACK WHEN THEY ARRIVE.

SO, FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE SIGNED UP FOR JUNE 7, THAT IS WHAT AWAITS YOU ALL. IF THERE ARE SOME WHO HAVE NOT SIGNED UP AND WONDER IF WE COULD USE STILL USE YOUR HELP, THE ANSWER IS YES!!

AGAIN, THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO HAS HELPED AND WILL BE HELPING. GOD'S BLESSINGS ON YOU ALL!!
