Welcome to our Re-construction phase. Keep checking back for updates as we finish up the remodel of our Facilities Planning (Architectural/ Engineering) division... And as we continue with the remodel of the CS (Computer Services), and GS (Graphic Services) areas.

We had a group of guys here that call themselves Steppin' Out Ministries, who took care of the main indoor renovations, and will be intermittently back to help rebuild and tear down as needed/ or funds allow. On the outside, we had High Touch Ministries doing the initial dirt work and grading. This team consists of, well, Darren... and his bionic mechanical, appendage extensions.

Please forgive the lack of "before" shots, hopefully I'll be able to find some later on, and hopefully things will begin to make sense as the days and hours progress.

Note: If you are unfamiliar w/ TECH and our layout, I have tried to be fairly descriptive and orderly...

The most recent post will be at the TOP. The beginning posts are in the Archive section on the Right, under 2008 and January -only so many posts are able to fit on the page- so, if you're looking for how it all started it will be there.

And by 1:00pm... A bumper crop! We must have some of the fastest growing Dirt in the whole State! We should have a Race... I challenge any other State to produce as much or more Red Clay as we do... Over night. Please comment your entries, I'll sort them, and post a roster...

Week 2 Feb. 4-8


There's art everywhere, sometimes you just gotta look.




The pit was filled back in with topsoil, 'cause the dirt/clay that was taken out will pack better for the parking area.


There's a new Gehl in town... This is Darren's newest addition... two speeds, and turbocharched!







Here's a compilation I threw together... it's just a test.
