St. Bartholomew started the Fletcher project with us last summer. What a great project that was. If you were here last summer and can't remember which site that was, I have two words for you: sauteed mushroom. (That's what we painted the exterior of the home.)
Before painting the home, it was scraped (by St. Bart's). We also put a new roof on the home, tore down a set of dilapidated steps, built a side porch, installed new drywall ceilings and walls in part of the house, and oh yeah, constructed an indoor bathroom (which they hadn't had the 21 years they lived in the home).
Besides the work, we all loved getting the know the Fletcher family. So we were really excited to take some members from St. Bart's out there last week to visit and catch up with the Fletcher family. The house was beautiful. I love the lime green walls in their new bathroom!
We really enjoyed the visit. Unfortunately, we did find out some bad news. Jackie has been in the hospital for 5 weeks after having a heart attack and stroke. Keep Jackie in your thoughts and prayers as he recovers.
