I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing!
Galations 2:20-21

~ My Handyman ~

Well, for anyone who does not know us personally you might not know that I have my own personal handyman. I refer to him as MacGyver but actually I think MacGyver would do well by being referred to as Rick.



Here are our newest projects( but they are really his and we all just lend a hand when needed ;0) ) - or at least some of them...

Added a doggy door(as you can see)

Took out a window in the laundry room and added a built in curio cabinet.

Put all new woodwork in the game room- beams, around windows, doors and a new counter top that he built himself!

Redo the downstairs bathroom- completely gut down to the studs

Remodel the upstairs guest bathroom from the studs up- new shower enclosure, counter top, tile floor, textured walls and all the fixtures.

Expand the kitchen- enclose the sunroom, add windows, move the doors, tear down the wall, move/add electrical stuff, put up ceiling, texture walls, add lighting/ceiling fan

Tile downstairs entry ways and the extra kitchen.

This is what he is doing in a 3 month stretch. NOT including the normal 'get ready for winter' chores such as making sure the house is in no need of winterizing, all our wood is cut and split for heat, animals are cleaned out and will be cozy with new bedding. Plus I am sure there are millions of things I do not even know about.

He is doing all of this physical stuff plus starting a young man's bible study for the spiritual well being of  the young handymen in training he gave me and the other  young men the girls have brought into and God has blessed us with.
Incredible.
