Only one word to say....


!!! Hallelujah !!!

Bro. Curtis

My two brothers, David and Craig

Bishop Homer, Robert, Bro. Stratton


















Okay, maybe there is more than just one word to say. Some other words might be.....relief, done, over, no more, yipee, but by far the one word that sums it up would have to be just plain old hallelujah.


What a great day to get this project done. We appreciate the rain holding off until tonight. The building will have a great opportunity to dry and be ready for the rain tonight.


Isn't it just a lovely shade of yellow and brown. That's what they wanted it painted. It's called Southern Pacific Yellow. Apparently all Southern Pacific Railroad stations were painted this color. That's fine with us. It's done and it looks great. They are pleased and so are we.


Another great word would have to be THANK YOU to all our friends and family that helped Kyle in completing this project.

RAIN, RAIN, GO AWAY !!!!!!!!

Saturday morning came and sure enough the clouds rolled into town. We tried our best to beat the clouds, but they eventually won out. We started this project of Kyle's at 8:00 that morning and by 10:30 we had to close up shop because the clouds were going to let loose. If we had a couple of more hours we could've had the rest of the trim painted and been completed.

We did however get a lot accomplished in the 2 and a half to three hours we were there. All the base coat of yellow was finished. Just the trim painting of brown needs to be done with some touch up still.











We will try yet again this Saturday to complete this project if the weather will cooperate. We keep watching the weather reports on line and it changes every day. One day it says 20% chance of rain this comming saturday and then the next day it will say 80% chance of rain. MAKE UP YOUR MIND ALREADY!!


So wish us luck and please, please, please....whatever you do....please don't pray for rain. :)

Kyle's Eagle Project

Yep...this is it, the Eagle Project. Kyle has decided to help the Arizona Railway Museum by painting this double-wide trailer that they are trying to make their Museum building. It used to be a temporary firehouse for the City of Chandler Fire Department, but now will be used the by Railway Museum. Kyle has finally finished the paperwork and gotten the approval of all necessary people to be able to start working on the project.





Kyle's project will be on the 20th of February (if it's not raining !!!!) Kyle met with the museum manager on Saturday and they showed him the colors of paint. I hope they like their choice after it's all said and done. I'll have to post before and after pictures once the job is completed. It will be a two-tone paint job. The building itself will be painted a yellow (more gold) color and the trim will be a dark brown color. Should be interesting. We'll see what happens.
