Final Day - Projects

Hello, from Kake.

Well, it's our final day and the team is pretty wore out. We've accomplished quite a bit and were blessed to have beautiful weather during our stay. We had a little bit of drizzle on Thursday but, other than that, it was perfect (about 65 and sunny)! It was also a blessing to have incredibly hard-working and talented team members. Most everything went very smoothly.

We replaced the majority of the skirting around the sanctuary and fellowship hall as well as improve the access to the crawl space underneath.

We built two picnic tables and stained them before we left. We also constructed some new stairs down to the beach from the church's backyard. These steps allow much easier access to the beach. Pastor Chang is excited as now some of the older people will be able to make the trip down.

We repainted some of the church's existing signs as well as creating a couple new signs advertising a "Peace of Kake" which is lunch and coffee provided by the church every Friday.

A new roof was built to keep the pastor's firewood dry. Kake is actually a rainforest and gets a ton of rain every year. Earlier this year, Pastor Chang spent $1,000 to heat his home just for the month of January. Since then, a new wood stove has been installed!

 We built a new fire pit behind the manse (parsonage).

We provided four new swings at the park across from the Church. It is a joy to see them getting used every day by the younger kids as well as the older kids.

We also repaired some damaged and missing siding on the Church, fixed Sylvia's car, repaired a grass trimmer, fixed the handicapped ramp to the church, and moved some furniture for one of the town elders.
