Last weekend was prom at Hood River Valley High School... which might have put a stop to any project work but, not for the group of hard-working, dedicated Leaders like the LFT2 class! Friday night (5/2) was spent preparing the rooms at The Next Door, Inc for painting, decorating and a thorough cleaning. We discovered a lot about each other... for example, Jenna is good at cleaning but, not so much masking! And Kent U. has "mad" masking skills... perhaps he will demonstrate them at some point. Elise is pretty expert at a variety of aspects related to painting including masking and cutting in, etc. AND there are few among us who really enjoy cleaning the paint out of rollers! After all the work was done, we had some pizza and went home... it was a long day!
Saturday was prom so participation was little slim. Hannah had rounded up some willing volunteers from Horizon Christian School to help out! We painted the kitchen/break room - the ceilings must be 15 feet high so, Rachael got to do all the cutting in around the ceiling. She's very tall and when you get her on a ladder, she almost reaches the sky! Everyone agreed that there was more to this project than originally thought... especially if you want it done right!
We finished the kitchen (with the exception of the cabinets) and the lobby area. Next weekend, we'll finish the cabinets, paint the hallway and the conference room and hopefully, get the artwork on the walls. It's looking pretty good! It's amazing what a little color will do! We're all looking forward to the successful completion of the project... as is the staff of The Next Door, Inc.
