Friday morning, July 17

What an outstanding crew from Johnson Controls yesterday. Thanks for helping on our 2009 Thrivent Builds home! Attached are pictures at the end of the day and a few pictures of our group from Infor in Ann Arbor who will be working all day today. Infor’s priority tasks are to get more laminate down (throughout the house would be a lot but it could happen) and as flooring is completed in and around doorways then get interior doors installed behind the laminate team. There are also people working outside to complete soffits and George is leading a few folks in forming up the porch. I think all the other concrete forms are done so I expect next week one day concrete will come. Numbers of people are needed for that. Enjoy the pictures from this morning when Infor employees and family who had come along were listening to their instructions for the day.

Hey everyone. I am attaching pictures from the morning and then pictures at the end of the day. Outstanding crew came from Johnson Controls today and worked alongside other volunteers to lay the kitchen and bathroom tile, which are now done and covered with protective paper. The cabinets got moved back into the kitchen, mostly just to get them out of the way of everything else. A good start was made on the laminate flooring, but that is continuing on Friday and probably even into Saturday. Teams of 3 line up on the floor with someone outside cutting the boards to length as needed and then somewhat together the team snaps the pieces into place. A plastic kind of thin foam padding goes on top of the sub-floor, under the laminate before you lay it. A cushion and noise reducing product. A lot of progress was also made on the soffits, which will continue today. Thanks again to Johnson Controls for providing an outstanding crew and for providing lunch for everyone on-site today.
