Busy Day in the Keys

Monday, February 03, 2020

Dan and Virgie brought our morning devotion from Ephesians 6:13 – “And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.” They reminded us that prayer is the ongoing connection between us and God. They finished with the humorous poem “Jake the Rancher.”

We all headed to Dennis’s this morning and made a lot of progress trimming doors and windows and getting the front bedroom ready to texture tomorrow.

Mark shaving off some drywall to make the door trim fit better

The bedroom door we installed last week got trimmed out

Dan chipping out some cracked concrete in the front bedroom floor. It was caused by some rusting rebar. We will have to fill and level the area before we put the flooring down.

After lunch Mark and Max were sent to a house on Lower Sugarloaf Key to hook up a kitchen sink drain. The lady of the house was thrilled because she has been washing dishes in the bathtub for two years. We spent more time driving back and forth than it took to connect the drain. It took less than 10 minutes of work then another 20-30 minutes letting the lady tell her story. Sometimes that is the most important thing we can do in our day.

This drain installation Max and Mark were sent to Lower Sugarloaf Key to finish.

After Max and Mark got back to Dennis’s house they started hanging kitchen cabinets. With the help of Dennis and Anne, two wall cabinets were installed before quitting time. It was a great day!
