Hello from IBC

IBC (International Bible Center) was started in 1944. The administration building was mansion in the 1800's and casino in the 30's. It is located on the highest spot in San Antonio so the people could see the police coming up the hill to check on the illegal activities.

Two other churches use the auditorium on Sunday and other groups use the gym etc during the week.

Pat and CC heading out for the evening walk. They have been having a ball.

The front side of the administration building--we replaced an access panel and will be installing a motion light--all of the plants keep getting stolen off the front porch.

The corner of the classroom/library building--we repaired the floor outlet in two classrooms.

The entrance to the auditorium and gymnasium. We repaired the lights in the boys and girls shower rooms. It was a challenge to figure out why the lights didn't work since there was electricity all the way up to the light fixture--finally found an old heat sensor on the back of the fixture. We fixed a faucet in the kitchen.

This is the boys dorm--they are moved in military barracks--old, old. We repaired or replaced three faucets, cleaned and installed several shower heads, and replace light bulbs in one of the restrooms. We may have time to straighten and reinforce a sagging beam but the people in the end apartment need to move out first. It is the apartment on the left end in the picture.

This is the married student apartment building--no work in this building yet.

This is the shop--well equipped but has over 500 drawers of small parts--several are not labelled--anyone want a job? We repaired two swivel chairs for the nursery and fixed the air line in the engine area in the shop.

The light above the door are now on a timer thanks to Vern.

The back of the administration building--we are to place a motion detector light above the drive-thru--all of the parts have been purchased now we just need time.

This is the girls dorm--the laundry is in the right wing. Very handy for the SOWERs. We are parked just to the left of the picture.

Our homes behind the girls dorm.

A staff house that needs laminate flooring laid in a bedroom and tile removed and replaced in a bathroom--these may be our projects this week. After we fix the electrical in one of the mobile homes and clean the air conditioners.

Today is a beautiful day--in the 80's. We enjoyed our worship at a mono-ethic church--and it wasn't white. Very small--about 25 in attendance.

Well I better publish this before I lose it. nlsower.
