We have finished our first week here at Lakeshore with a trip to the 1860's Log Cabin Restaurant.  We all gathered for a nice evening of eating and fellowship.  The restaurant is built from five different old log cabins and one old barn.  The owners of the restaurant live in the upper floors.  Since it is only open Wednesday through Saturday, guess they aren't bothered much by the coming and going of customers.

Since I just posted on Wednesday, I will be short with this one.  Just a few pictures to let you know what we have been doing.

We start each work day with devotions.  Here is the team gathered in the Yurt for devotions.  Starting with the first couple on the left is Pat and Joe.  Pat and Joe are our team leaders.  They call Georgia home, although both grew up in Birmingham, Alabama.  They are now full time RVer's and winter in Yuma, Arizona.  Going on around the table is Jerry and Kyoka.  Jerry and Kyoka are from Ohio.  they two are full time RVer's, but they summer in Ohio at their daughter farm.  Next is Brenda.  Brenda is a new NOMAD.  She hails from Nashville.  Next to Brenda is Libby.  Libby is also a new NOMAD.  She also is from Nashville.  She and Brenda met in a hiking club and became NOMADS together.  Next are Ash and Diane.  They call Oregon home, but they too are full time RVer's.  They have family scattered all over the country from California to Florida.  Next is Sharon.  As you can tell her halo has fallen. 

Libby and Sharon are preparing the wall in one of the cabin showers to be painted.  The area above the shower head will be the painted area.  The rest of the wall down to the floor is going to get new ceramic tile.

                          This hole, and the ones behind the faucets, will be covered with tile.

 

Here I am chiseling out some of the concrete around the water pipes.  We are going to have to cover the pipes with something that will allow access to the pipes in case of a leak.  We are covering them with tile, but not encasing the pipes in concrete.  Just to let you know, the fuzzy look of the picture is dust in the air.  We created a lot of dust from the concrete.

 

Jerry is working on the other hole.  The blocks below the brown painted area we roughed up using a grinding wheel to allow the tile mastic to hold.  The day we did that Jerry and I breathed green dust all day.  When we worked on the holes in the wall, we breathed gray dust all day.

The ladies spent a lot of time re-painting the bunk beds in several of the cabins.  This is the cabin that we are installing the tile.  Good thing the painted first, dust is now covering everything.

The dogwood trees are blooming everywhere.  We pass this one every morning as we leave the camp ground for work.

You all have a nice weekend and I'll see you later,

Remember that,

God Loves You
