The Basement

We will be tackling four rooms in the basement.  There is one bedroom that two interns share.  As in all of the rooms, it barely holds two beds.  Under-bed storage, good idea.  Seeing it when you walk in the door, we will fix that.

These girls are lucky to have two small closets.  But the doors are broken.  We will fix that.

We will put the fridges under the beds so we can add some drawer space.

An there is a small unused space that we will turn into a living room/family room.  It can be used for classes, studying, hanging out.  The house is old.  There are old brick walls behind the sheet rock walls.  We will cover that up better.  There is a refrigerator in the living room, it won't be far to go for a cold drink.

This corner will get some seating.  We will make seat cushions, throw pillows and hang a curtain.  Parts of the walls are drywall and parts are cement.

We are going to turn this whole wall into a giant message center.  It will be part chalkboard and part magnet wall.

And there is a bathroom.  One curtain coming up.

A little wall patching is needed here.

The room is oddly shaped with a good amount of wall space.

And the kitchen.  This is the kitchen that all 47 kids use to cook.  There is wasted space like this huge, deep shelf.

Half of the kitchen counter has lovely 1972 floral contact paper on it.  We will look for some discount tile for it.

The cupboards need washing and painting.  They are rusty on the inside too.

Lots of work to be done just in the four basement rooms.

If you are joining us in prayer, please pray for God's provision for this trip:
- in women to join the team, the job is large
- in prayer team supporters
- in financial supporters, the living room has no furniture, and there are many more needs downstairs
