Church of God Mission Mission House Project

	The lower floor of the mission house was finished to accomodate more people.
	When we came, the lower floor had no windows or doors. Wiring and plumbing needed to be completed. Windows and outside doors needed to be installed. We made the doors ourselves to save money.
	The drainage ditch was rerouted to make way for lateral lines. Drainage ditches are required since water flows through the property almost constantly.
	The going rate for ditch digging and other hard manual labor is 150 Lempiras per day - less than $9. Men are glad to get the work.
	The new septic tank has a floor and a manhole in the top. It was installed to accommodate the downstairs.
	Having adequate lateral lines has been a great improvement. Before, sewer oozed to the surface during the rainy season and into the the yard.
	Dad was a big help in project work. He helped get the second teacher's room built downstairs (in the background) and doors built. He also helped get the Oak Ridge classroom and desks ready. The downstairs of the mission house accommodates two teachers and has its own kitchen and bathroom. The upstairs houses the Wall family.
	Bars are needed due to widespread thievery. Not everyone who comes to the mission is looking for spiritual help or education.

Getting the tub into the bathroom addition was quite an undertaking. The wooden lifting structure collapsed while the tub was suspended, but fortunately no one was hurt. There was considerable confusion trying to figure out how to get the tub the rest of the way up after the collapse. Having a second bathroom upstairs has made life so much nicer.
