Dear Loving EChurch Family,

The Lord is so good! lol.

I just wanted to give you an update on our newly remodeled bathroom
upstairs. We have our new shower/tub in our bathroom upstairs and new sink
installed before Christmas eve Day, when we got to use them for the first time.

Vernon got all the marvelite paneling up before Christmas, as well, and
he's putting up the trim now after he gets it stained and coated. Then he
will stain and coat the baseboard which he made. It's really cool!

I didn't think that I would get both a cupboard above the stool and the two
rack shelves above the towel bars, but I did. We got them both up today,
and we got the vertical blinds up in the sitting room up here where my
office is and the TV and stero is. It's  really begining to look nice up here.

You see, this window here is a north window, and people can see at night
when we're up here, so we thought it would be neat to put some vertical
blinds. I got to pick them out yesterday. lol.

Now, I have to stand on a stool to put towels and hand towels and wash rags
on the first rack shelf, but that's okay. We didn't want it too low,
otherwise people might hit their head on it when they came in the bathroom
door.

Vernon has one window to finish in the bathroom down stairs, and a few
windows to re-stain down stairs, and one up here to finish.

We're going to get new curtains for the dining room, and hopefully that
will be soon.

I can't wait until we start working on building the new island in the kitchen.

Before we start that, we have to build the cabinates and then get the new
floring and take outhe old island, after I empty all my stuff in it, and
then put down the new flooring and venyl, and then put the finished
cupboards for the island. I'm not sure when we will get this done, but
please pray that we can get it done this year.

The first thing Vernon will do in the spring whenit warms up, is re-shingle
the rental house that we own that use to be his Dad's house.

Then we're going to finish siding the west end of our house.

We did get the front portch finished this fall, except for the railings,
and it looks really nice. Please pray that we can build the railings soon
when it warms up.

We would appreciate your prayers Please, for business to pick up, as it has
been so very slow. We can't make it from month to month with out dipping in
to our little savings, which is going very fast. When the money is all
gone, we will not have enough money to pay our bills every month.

Thanks for praying.

Love and Blessings,
Pat Ferguson
