July 1 we were pleased to welcome Dan and Karen Carlson, this year's UBAC Hostel parents! And they set off right away learning everything possible from last year's parents Scott & Lee Pyles.
First day, a tour of their home-to-be.
 |
| Glass and screens going in, front steps done |
Take a closer look at the front entrance.
So up we went to the top floor kids bedrooms, and out to the big veranda that you see from the entrance gate.
 |
| Lee shows Karen the upper veranda off the girls bedroom |
When they look over the side, toward the front door, this is what they see:
 |
| View from upper veranda of front steps, drainage ditch going in along the future road between hostels, and CMF Hostel. |
At the other end of the upper veranda, Ron shows Dan around the hostel.
And when they go to the end of the veranda and look back along the back side of the building, this is what they see:
 |
| The wall that separates the hostel from RFIS, and a view of Stoker's porch below, and hostel living room veranda above. |
Inside, the bathrooms are getting done - sinks, showers, toilets are in with tile around. Work still to be done on the cabinets.
The sink cabinet is done in the hostel parent's bathroom.
 |
| Mirror, mirror on the wall, who are the coolest hostel parents of all? |
The cabinets are going in the kitchen. Tile on the counter top, kitchen sink, but the island isn't yet begun.
One of the bedrooms - nice big rooms, with veranda.
 |
| Bedroom opens out to the veranda |
Carlsons quickly put their children to work - stripping and revarnishing furniture.
 |
| Sanding the dining table |
The Carlson family have been living in the CMF Hostel since thier arrival in Yaounde 3 weeks ago. Tomorrow they plan to move over to the UBAC Hostel and finish getting it ready for students while living in it. Please pray that all the little things get completed before students arrive Aug. 4-6.
