When working RVICS projects at the various camps, churches etc, there are times we do not see the completed product. Last week the men saw the completion of the siding on the café and the roof on the shelter for the pump. After these things were done, one group of men started working on replacing the soffit for the bathhouse in the RV park. Don and a couple of guys started work on an old pontoon boat. The goal was to replace the decking. However, before it got that far, they found that it had holes in the tubes and that it wasn’t actually sea worthy and the idea was scrapped. Now, they are building swing sets to sit around the camp.
Since the weather improved (got warmer) the women could now start painting. Last week, we painted doors and cabins. With 2 groups of cabins completed we have moved on to the last ones. They are proving to a little more difficult and are taking longer. When these are done, there is more painting awaiting us.
On Friday, we experienced a special day. Every year in January they have an RVICS reunion of all the RVICS people in Florida (working different projects in the area and retired RVICS in that are close). This is the first one that we have had the privilege to attend. Lake Aurora Camp was the location this year and since our group is here we acted as hosts. Don gave the devotional for the occasion. It was great seeing people that we have worked with the past 3 years plus putting faces to name’s of people that we have heard about. It will definitely be a highlight of this month here.
It is hard for us to believe but there are only 6 more working days left. We are looking forward to getting back to work tomorrow.
