Progress...

There's been a lot going on around here.  A lot. 

We are still working on those townhouses that B.D.'s church has been renovating.  They should be done in the next week or two.  Yay!  It is fantastic to see what we started with and where we have taken them from there.

From this...







To this...








And a little of the fun in between...








This picture is particularly funny to me.  These townhouses used to be the place the police in our city were called to.  This was it.  A great percentage of all calls to the police were to this bay.  It was home to drug dealers, prostitutes, gang members.  The elite (shall we say) of the bad were here.  As we were tearing down, cleaning up, clearing out and re-building we would have people stop in the back alley and bang on the doors (or the holes cut in the walls) to get their next fix.  People would walk up to the front door saying "Heh, buddy, you got any (insert drug of choice here).  So, although the situation that resulted in this sign is NOT funny; one of our team putting this on the door reminding us of those times is funny.
