These next two pictures were taken the day after we'd laid the sub-flooring down - it was 13 degrees that day.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

These pictures are of us working on one of the 102 foot walls and the wall raised.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Prestonsburg church of Christ sent 8 volunteers to help us in construction - with them we finished another wall.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here is our Prestonsburg brethren in action, as well as a pic of all four walls erected.
