Have Sledgehammer – Will Travel
No, this is not us breaking in or out of someplace. This is us spending the morning working on “The Barn”. What is “The Barn” you ask? “The Barn” is an actual barn that was built in the 1800′s that we are now converting to our new offices and short term living apartments. We currently rent office space and we also have a need for apartments for people who come over on short term projects (3 months to a year). Its very hard to find apartments (especially furnished apartments) for those that come over for these shorter periods but we really want to encourage people to come over and help. We also figured out that we can save money if we were to own our office space so that is why we are doing this.
For me it was a great time (although I am a bit sore). I got to hang out with some sophomores from Black Forest blowing holes in the walls (which are over a foot thick made of stones) where there will be windows put in. It was kinda cool as one guy’s family lives in Italy and the other’s lives in Sweden but here we were in Germany with jackhammers, sledgehammers and crowbars working together.
There’s a lot of work to be done. A lot of the major items are being done by contractors but we are trying to do as much as we can to cut down on costs. Would you be interested in coming over and helping? We are looking for people to come over and help. You can have construction skills or not. We have projects to be done that require all types of skills. But what we really need is people willing to work. Teams can come over – teams of all sizes from one person to 15 or more. If you are interested, check out this Barn Project PDF for more information or contact me at Courtney[at]RoesGarden.com.

Bro – you should join up with GEM-K ministries with all the quality GEM-K hang time you’ve been having over the last few days. Was fun to knock down a bit of 19th Century German history with you.
