Nick finished his sermon prep early today, so was able to spend a large part of the day in the church. The walls and ceiling above and around the stage are finished now, so the scaffolding could be unassembled and then reassembled in the body of the church. The parts that have been done are really looking so nice. In the photo, Nick and Steve are on the scaffolding, scraping off the old paint. The entire church has to be done in this way, otherwise the new paint would just pull the old paint off the wall. It has been at least 50 years since the church was last painted.
Yesterday there was an accident along Ladder Hill road. Apparently a truck pulled to the side of the road to let a car pass, but misjudged the edge and went too far, and tumbled down the hill, landing in someone’s kitchen. The house which it trashed was unoccupied, though the houses on either side have residents. I don’t know if the driver was trying to aim for the empty one, but what a good thing! The cab of the truck came right through the kitchen wall, kind of splitting in half though so the cab roof is up against the top of the wall while the rest looks like a new appliance. The driver broke his ribs but was fortunate to walk away alive.
