The Work Continues

After 3 months of work, the roofs are finally finished and most of the scaffolding has been removed at the Springhead Park House property.

While the contractors were replacing the roofs they discovered that the chimneys were in very bad condition and needed tearing down and rebuilding. Before they could do this the pest control man had to come in and take care of some bees. He was shocked to find a honeycomb that was over 6 ft in length. He said he had never seen one that large and it must have taken years for the bees to build it. It was a shame they had to poison it - there was several black sacks of honey that had to be just thrown away.

Gary has been busy trying to get an apartment ready for the new Managers that are arriving next week. Along with this he has also had to convert a ladies bathroom into a new server room and move people's offices to accommodate the new managers! Not to mention the meetings with contractors about the roof and chimney work and repairs that come up during the course of a day.

He was very grateful for the help he received last week from a couple of men from Liverpool who were here for a few days (pictured above). After he gets these jobs done, he then has to concentrate on moving people around, redecorating and fixing other apartments ready for several new people to join the team here. This work includes the conversion of an old workshop into a new apartment. Once this is done he can then concentrate on repairing the many years of damage that the water has done through the leaky roofs.

This is a lot of work, especially for 1 person - so if anyone feels led to come and help for a short time (maybe combine it with a vacation??!!) - Gary would certainly appreciate it!!

Please continue to pray for Gary as he does this work. Firstly, that he would be able to accomplish the work needed by the deadlines and secondly,that his body would hold up to the work, as he currently works in pain most days.

Thanks
