Last week the project was a Ramada for the patio area outside the “gameroom” at the church. These pictures were taken the day of a wedding, so there are some spiffy lookin’ dudes hanging out:

Had to stitch that one together from several ground-level shots, so the truss looks a little weird.

Here’s a detail shot of the inside corner:

Yesterday, TMBWitW took a day of vacation, went running around with MEG and came home to a shade structure of our own:

I am currently as red as a lobster. I worked outside today, building the ramada for the church fellowship area. I didn’t take pictures yet, so that will have to wait, but we got it up and in 107° weather to boot.

Before I went over to the church this morning, I participated in one of my “thought filled” exercises. There are two – shaving, with my straight razor (when I have the time) and picking up dog doo. I have the stubble to prove it wasn’t the first one.

Now, I am hot, tired, and my body hurts. I’m going to bed.

Well, maybe. We’ll see.

First, a very specific request for prayer. I submitted my resume for a project manager position, and would really appreciate everyone’s prayers/well wishes/best-of-lucks in being considered for the position. Thank you.

Second, the other day I mentioned the “Pedophile Protection Act” and today in Chuck Norris’ column he mentioned a site to go to to show your opposition to it. That web site is on CitizenLink and I would appreciate it if you would take the time to hop over there and add your opinion.

Third, there is a young man who has submitted artwork for a Google contest. He needs your vote – can you help him out? His name is Jadon Mann. According to the information e-mail I received from my sister, LC, he:

is a top 40 finalist out of 28,000 entrants in the Doodle for Google contest! He has already won a trip to New York City and now has a chance to get to the finals, where he could win an Apple laptop and if he makes it all the way, he gets a $15000 scholarship for college and $25000 for his school! He needs your vote – go to http://www.google.com/doodle4google/vote.html and vote for his drawing in the grade 7-9 tab, he’s Region 8 and his drawing is for clean energy.

I have some “final” pictures of the new “gameroom” at the church:

Well, I’m outta steam. Cruise over to the links in the sidebar, and pretend I’m giving you a guided tour of what they are doing today…

The back-to-back 24 hour shifts driving cab can be tiring. I pretty much lose Sunday afternoon completely, what with laying down to take a nap after church and not getting up until well after supper time…

This morning I’m headed back over to the church – we’re in the home stretch now. The flooring is finished (see the picture below for a bad shot of the stage – I took it Sunday morning, with only one eye open) and now there is just baseboard to do. That should get accomplished today. If you click on the picture and zoom in, you will see a piece of the baseboard laying across the stage:

Well, it’s off to get the morning stuff done before MEG wakes up (again!) and we head over to the church.

I have been working at the church all week; I have not had the time nor the energy after putting in a day over there to do a lot of blog-reading. I apologize for that, to those I normally read, and to all of you for not posting a round-up today.

I do, however, have pictures!

On the dais section, I decided to go with a picture frame around the edges (i’ll be laying in the flooring for the stage today, so the finished product will be posted later):

After service last night, I took a panorama shot of the “gameroom”:

Sorry the panorama doesn’t translate well to this forum. If you would like, I can e-mail you a copy if you would like to see the whole thing in all it’s glory!

Every time pastor walks in the “gameroom” he says “Why do I have the urge to play basketball?” Well, it was funny the first time.

For those of you wondering – the engineered wood is bamboo flooring.
