Our last work day in Alabama dawned sunny & steamy. We hit the ground running trying to tie up as many loose ends as possible before we headed back north. How does a week go by so fast?
Love this picture of “the brothers” discussing how to tackle that last high beam.
Then this showed up. The company that was buying the salvage steel from the church was due to start pick up on Tuesday, but the excavator operator decided to move his things in on Saturday so he would be ready to go Tuesday morning. A “God thing” maybe? Absolutely!
He came just in time to support the high beam while Mr. Steel Monkey aka Ron was scaling the beam torching off the purlins.
The building looked a bit different by Saturday from what we saw as we drove up to it for the first time on Tuesday morning.
Sandy doing some final clean-up inside the church.
Becky and Dumpster Diva Lynnette clowning around.
Other taking a well deserved break. These folks worked tirelessly all week long in hot and humid conditions we definitely weren’t accustomed to this season yet.
This machine & Nathan the operator worked just as tirelessly. It was started each morning at 8 am and was very rarely shut off before 6 pm that evening. We would have truly been helpless without it.
At the end of the day on Saturday, we decided it was time to enjoy some good ol’ southern BBQ.
We all gathered at Bama-Que in Hamilton, Alabama before some headed home yet that night, others first thing the next morning while the rest of us stayed for Sunday morning services.

Wow! Wow! Wow!!!!!! I can't believe the difference---God moved mountains that week!
I love that you were able to save so much of the building and not just bulldoze it all in.
The sorting that was done is amazing!
