Keeping up with Lee & Dana

Well....  We are making slow progress on the house.  We have our water turned on and now I am dealing with repairing water  lines.  After installing a new electrical service drop, getting it inspected, pulling building permits, and setting up an account, we are still waiting for the power company to install a meter and get it turned on.  I will have to get the gas lines inspected before I can get them on.  It's kind of been a hassle trying to get into this old house.  We were imagining what it would be like for the many of our neighbors, who don't have the resources (money, knowledge, friends), to fix up an older home.  It seems they are stuck with run down houses or fall prey to the slum lords, who rent them sub-par homes.  Note to self: Do something about this.

Anyway, we are moving ahead.  Got the new transmission put in the truck and then Jesse's car died.  Looks like the new fuel pump had a short life!  We met with Greg from AQUI and started looking at some ideas on how to start finding ways to minister to youth in the neighborhood.  He said there is really nothing set up to help the youth.  That is why we are here.

Dana is at a women's retreat, so I guess I will get back to work.....
