Can we do some work yet?

The biggest concern I have about our restoration efforts is to get a new roof over our heads, but it is possible that we may be able to do some of the projects stated for Phase II this summer using volunteer help and local expertise. Our maintenance man is experienced as a brick layer. As we have been looking at some of the Phase II projects we've discovered that we may be able to have him supervise some volunteers to properly point and tuck the grout. We might also be able to used the volunteers to redirect some of our sprinklers. Several of them are currently spraying towards the old church and causing some of our issues with the grout being washed out. As we get those projects under way, I'll report on our progress.

Support from far away

I am happy to mention that we are receiving a regular contribution from Wyoming for our restoration efforts, and it appears an anonymous donor from Indiana is sending a regular postal money order contribution. For people who are not able to make a big contribution in one payment, making payments over time can still help us achieve our goals.

Thanks to those who are continuing to support our project.
