Once again I have great news regarding the renovation of our new building.  After my last update a week ago a few very exciting things happened that I wanted to share with you.

First of all we passed our first inspection!

Lotspeich who has donated all of the drywall, ceiling work and interior and exterior doors was able to also get the cement cutter for the plumbing work.

Hypower donated all of our electrical materials.

Addison Storage donated the use of some equipment to continue the plumbing process.

Biscayne Restoration has agreed to repair the back stair railing.

And if that wasn't enough for one week, The Christian Community Foundation in conjunction with the Stacy Foundation granted us a matching grant of $5,000 to be put towards finishing the store.

We are looking for a company or individual who would feel led to match that grant.

Lindsay and I continue to be completely in awe of the favor God is providing for us.  We know that this building is on His heart.   We're humbled and grateful beyond words.  

On our list for this week are the following:

•We need to raise $5000 in order for the Stacy Foundation to release their matching grant;

•Concrete -  to fill one yard plumbing area –needs to be pumped in;

•Pest Control Company – Termite spray underground plumbing;  

•Plumbing
    •60 feet of 1/2 inch copper
    •140 feet of 3/4 inch cooper
    •Various fittings for each
    •2 lengths  of  4 inch piping
    •4 lengths of 2 inch piping;

•Insulation
   •16 inch R8 Batten Insulation – 1,000 SF
   •Knockdown – to cover 2,000 SF.

Again, thank you all so much for your generosity!  If you could continue to think about helping us by connecting us to people you may know who can supply the last few needs on the list we would be so appreciative.

It looks like we are still on track for a move in date of September 1st.
