MAPS RV Project - Teen Challenge, Dublin, GA - Feb 8 - 14



Paint, paint, and more paint.....



Some of us  have been painting all the siding boards while Georgie and Jan have been painting walls and ceilings. 




.....and we can't forget Jack, painting crown molding.  



There will be more painting needed...

More sheetrock going up in what is now the administration building. 






    Great job Mandy!

And on the outside, work continues ...




    Some of the boards we gals painted going up. And, notice the nice picture window.  Yes, the windows have been installed. 



Meanwhile, John and Ernie are laying tile in the newly renovated dorm facility. 



    Looking good !!

   Cabinets are going up in the small dorm kitchenette. 



Of course the electrical continues...

Let there be light. 



Much work going on in all areas of the project but we still have time to play. 

Joyce, our social director makes sure we have fun....

    Our Valentine Party




The ladies made a tackle box for our guys, complete with gummy worms, sinkers and fish.




    The men gave us cards. 

On Sunday, the partying continued as we celebrated three birthdays.  The theme was Mickey Mouse. 

   Ernie, Roy and Allan, Happy Birthday!!


  You can't really see it. But we had bubbles as the birthday guys entered our gathering place. 


Every one had Mickey Ear hats. 







Ran out of hats so Glenn got a "bow tie". We all know how he loves ties. NOT. 
    

Joyce always throw a fun party. Thanks Joyce!    You keep us young at heart.

MAPS RV Project - Teen Challenge, Dublin, GA - Feb 1 - 7


The Dublin newspaper, The Courier Herald,  had a nice article on the Teen Challenge project. We landed on the front page. I just love small town newspapers. 

Many changes occurred this past week. 

The building that will house the administrative offices got a new front.  






Meanwhile, work is ongoing inside too.



   The electricians have been busy in all areas of the project.




    Sheetrock going up.


    OSB going up.


The old admin building that is being made into bedrooms, showers, ect is coming right along too.


    Lot of mudding going on. A big thank you to Roy!


 The shower room is painted!


    A big thank you to Georgie!!


 Jan works in the office but also helps Georgie paint.  Looking good girls!


   Curtains coming down.  Room is getting fresh paint.


John and Ernie getting ready to lay tile. That is knee and backbreaking work. Thanks guys!!


  Georgie is our go to lady to keep us busy painting too.




   Our drying racks.


On Wednesday's some of us ladies work at the Teen Challenge Thrift Store. 


But, it wasn't all work and no play. We have fun at break. 


And on Friday we have game night. 



On Sunday's we attend Dexter Assembly of God.  Pastor Brad always bring a wonderful message. 


This past Sunday we enjoyed a meal together after the morning service. 




And of course what is the Super Bowl without a party. 


  
We invited the guys to watch the game with us.  Not all of the students could join us but a few could.
