Greetings Friends!
As many of you know, Pathfinder has been blessed to be able to use the Quonset tents provided by the City of Waveland which we use as a bunkhouse and office/classroom. Unfortunately, the climate has not been very friendly to the floor systems under the tents. We have had an increasing problem with mold and mildew and physical deterioration of the wood flooring. Several of the organizations that send volunteers here told us that they would be willing to build portable volunteer bunk houses. Martie and I felt that we had reached the point were that was needed so we put out the call for funds and workers. The call was answered immediately. The cost of the materials has been fully underwritten. The City of Waveland has approved use of the portable buildings for as long as we need them. Volunteers from High Desert Church, Victorville, CA built the bunkhouses. Volunteers from the Mississippi Telecom Pioneers will lay vinyl tile flooring next weekend. God provides! I will be posting pictures on this page for the next few weeks as the building progresses. It is amazing how quickly the bunk houses went up. Each has heating and air-conditioning and will sleep 10 volunteers. They will be named Joshua, Caleb and Esther. We will be modifying the bunks to make them two high this next week. Then we will paint the outside .... more pictures to come. We should have the final inspection from the city the first of the week. Charley
