Summer Projects

July 4, 2009 -

Summer projects are rolling along! The new front sign has been beautifully landscaped and the parking lot has been repaired around the fuel tank fill port. From past parking lot refinishing, the fuel tank fill port was a low point in the parking lot! That created a water puddle over the fuel tank and ultimately and ice patch. That is not too handy if you have to add fuel in the middle of winter!

Fence

We had a little fence remodeling done for us on Saturday night (2/21/2009). This nice little tan car tried to "grind the rail" (skater term) on the top of our parking lot/playground fence. The guy in the picture was not driving or in the car. He just thought it would add a little something to the picture if he was in it. Notice the front tires of the car are off the ground as it is completely hung up on top of the fence. - Nice. Since we are in Minnesota and the ground is frozen we can only do a temporary repair now and do the full repair after the frost comes out.

Custom Wall Art!

I feel a little bit like we (Grace Life Church) just got our first real tatoo. We have put up some stickers here and there, but this one is the real deal!

Thank you Matt for lending us your artistic talent to paint the church logo on the wall outside my office door! If you get a chance to come up to the second floor hallway take a look!

Roof Repairs - DONE

This past summer we took a major step forward with improving the roof condition at Grace Life Church.

When we originally took possession of the former Ease Side School building we were told that the roof was going to need major repairs or even replacement in the near future. As with so many other things...the Lord had the solution to meet our need. Through a series of contacts and connections we were able to identify a product designed specifically to meet the repair need of our roof. Even better - we were able to install the product ourselves!

The issue with the roof was that the edges of the roof were developing stretch tears along the edges. The rest of the roof was in near perfect condition. What this repair product does is create a "patch" of sorts all along the edge of the roof. Our best estimate is that this repair will last up to 20 years! That allows us to begin setting aside funds each year to prepare for the eventual replacement of the roof. God is good and he is always providing for all our needs!
