| DENNIS AND BARBARA GLAD, veteran team leaders from
Minnesota spent five weeks over Jan and Feb in Puerto
Rico as leaders of two teams of 25 volunteers each. Each
group worked for two weeks in the San Juan focusing
mostly on the parsonage belonging to the Emmanuel
Methodist Church. The house required extensive renovation
after being vacant for three years because the congregation
lacked funds to keep it up. The roof was prepped
and resealed, the inside plastered, plumbing restored,
yard cleared and two coats of paint applied to the inside
and outside of the house. |

The manse could use at least one more work team
to finish up the project. Still to be done: electricity restored,
tiling the master bathroom, plumbing another bathroom;
replacing three air conditioners, stove and refrigerator,
three exterior doors and house numbers; painting in the
closets; scraping and painting of the garage, exterior laundry
room, and grillwork on the house; new security
fence for one side of the property; repair or replace decorative
tile on roof; install some closet doors and handles for
kitchen cupboards; repair or replace window cranks
throughout; another coat of sealer for the roof; and paint
trim on front of house. |
