Tunnel Green House Demoby Rick Millikin | June 3, 2024 10:07 PM
A local pastors greenhouse was destroyed by a recent snowstorm. It was an extremely large greenhouse with a lot of metal wood and plastic. We accepted the challenge to begin disassembling and hauling away something that would take ministry couple months to do on their own.
Team Effort by Rick Millikin | June 3, 2024 10:10 PM
This is going to take a total team effort as there are so many parts to this, some buried under weeds and piles of overgrowth.
Serious Powerby Rick Millikin | June 3, 2024 10:11 PM
It was time to break out some serious power tools to get the job done. Most of the metal was so severely bent that we could not unbolt it, but had to cut it free.
Wow! by Rick Millikin | June 3, 2024 10:12 PM
Check out the progress in just a few hours. We still have a lot to do, but it’s time to go get ready for VBS and painting a mural at the local post office.
