The Challenge for 2019
We still have the most expensive time for the building in front of us. More building work on the inside of the house and on the outside, as well as installing electricity, gas, water, cables, pipes and tubes to create all the systems that are needed - heating, lighting, power, ventilation, hot and cold water, external roller blinds, etc.
The building work becomes increasingly complicated from now on as the builder has to organise his own workers, as well as organising electricians, plumbers, and several other contractors to install all the cables, pipes and tubes in the walls, floors and ceilings – all in their proper order – before the final concrete floors go down and plaster can be put on the walls and ceilings.
All these things are tied together and can’t be easily separated out.
There is also the outside – of getting water, electricity and gas to the building and installing an ecological cess pit that can cater for large numbers of people.
We are so thankful to the Lord in providing a builder who is a believer and is so capable in project management and people management. Mark has also been deeply involved in all the design of these systems, as well as getting quotes and organising contracts. As some of you know Mark was a project manager for a large international company before the Lord called us to build a Prayer House...
The bottom line is that all of this costs money and we are looking at a schedule of works that takes us into September or October 2019, which will cost around 550 000 zł (€ 128 000), just for those contractors that we’ve mentioned above.
Once again, we find ourselves in a place where we’ve not been before…
So, to answer the original question – no the Prayer House isn’t finished yet!
As to finishing it – let us see what the Lord will do in 2019.
With love and blessings
Cathy and Mark
