What a fantastic build this year! We had great volunteers from churches, corporations and the public come in Friday and Saturday to wrap up the interior (Friday) and pretty much all landscaping was done on Saturday. We extend gratitude and thanks to volunteers from Chelsea Free Methodist Church who were working on the Good News House over on Congress Street and got done right after lunch and drove over and helped finish with plants and shrubs and roll out the sod. The house looks beautiful and once we get the trailer moved, the growing pile of trash and lawn bags to the curb and remove the porta-john, it will look beautiful. Here are some updated pictures taken at the end of the day Saturday.

We are wrapping this home up and currently discussing a dedication date in mid-September. Once that is finalized, it will be posted immediately and church champions will be notified and in turn spread the news within their congregations.
I was away last weekend and unable to be on-site so sorry about delays in updating this blog. For now I am attaching a few pictures I took Monday. The only reason the entire sidewalk isn’t poured is because we must wait for the gas line to be installed. Once that is done, we will finish the front sidewalk and finalize landscaping. Top soil is expected to be delivered this week so there will be lots of outside work (yep – in the hottest week of the year!)
The interior trim looks nearly complete and beautiful, maybe 100% even as I didn’t walk through every room and inspect. Stove and dishwasher were delivered and will be installed this week. Frig is coming before the weekend is over too. Lots of clean up needs to be done again on the inside but overall things are looking really great.
