Our Saturday Work Day....

First off, I want to give a big shout out to all of those who showed up to help on Saturday! I know everyone who has helped on the project so far has taken time out of their busy schedules and their busy lives to do what they have done.... I don't think that any of them had a day with nothing planned and thought 'maybe I'll go help grandma today'. They had to work it into their schedules and all of them without complaining, and I am grateful to them (so is Grandma)! A lot of work got done on Saturday and Grandma only had to go for one day without a toilet:). And even with the inconvenience of everything, I know that Mom is extremely grateful for every one's hard work and $ donations. Thank you, Thank you to all of those who have donated so far! We would not have gotten to this point without it! The hours that these 2 brothers have put in on this project can't be counted. Thanks Mike and Gary.... you are forever in our hearts:).
The floor had to be replaced along with the walls and ceiling.
Michael along with Brad and Brian wired the bathroom, complete with a receptacle, 2 can lights in the ceiling and a vanity light that actually has a light switch! What we would have given for those little luxuries 40 years ago:)!
Brian delivered the toilet, that had been donated, to Grandma's house Friday morning, (which was a crappy job in and of itself:)).... that afternoon Mike called and asked him if he would drive to Pleasant Grove to pick up the tub before closing time. So Brian dropped everything and hurried there to pick it up. Without the tub in place, they couldn't have gotten as much done on Saturday as they did. Thanks Brian!
Jayson and Jay cut sheet rock and completed the ceiling (or lid as Mike would say:)). Thanks so much guys!
Glen, Jeff & Brad finished up the walls. Paul came and helped too.... I didn't get a picture of him but we appreciate him coming by to offer help after his visit with Mickey and Minnie:). I want all of you to know how much I love you! I know Mom feels the same way.... she made it a point to thank each and every one of her workers on Saturday. It makes it so much easier to serve those who appreciate it!Thanks also to Alan Linford for cleaning up the sheet rock etc.... off of the patio. There was a lot of junk there from the first day of tear down!
Unfortunately the work isn't complete yet..... and we can still use more $$.
Thanks again everyone!
love, Kathy
