Harvest Ministries-1

Hi, everyone. We are near Carson MS at Harvest Ministries for our April project. This a rather small facility--four bunk houses, a dorm building and a lodge/chapel. There are four SOWER couples working here--three of the four were at Dothan AL last month. The ladies are cleaning the kitchen--deep deep cleaning. Two of the men are repairing plumbing (frozen pipes), fixing a roof (tree fell on it Monday night), repairing bunks (stop the wiggling). The other man and I have been working on a one-bedroom house that the ministry recently acquired--it is on property but they didn't own the house. It is to be used for missionaries or pastors or a single family. It sits right on the edge of the reservoir--the deck even extends out over the water. The house is built on piers since the water may rise 8 feet during a heavy rain. The present deck gets flooded during high water so they would like another deck up at floor level of the house. We are replacing the flooring, extending the bedroom in to the old bathroom area and adding a bathroom. We have to stop our remodel and replace part of the roof that blew off Monday night. The setting is beautiful--60-ft pine trees, plants blooming several cardinals at the bird feeder. As I write, there is a goose sitting on the dock. Saw three deer last night. I am sitting in the lodge waiting for the clothes dryer to finish. There is one washer and one dryer so we have to share with the other SOWERS. I have some pictures but we have had trouble with the Internet so I haven't gotten them posted. We think the Internet problem is solved so will get busy and post some pictures. Bye, nlsower
