Man, I tell you what. I’m tired. Completely exhausted, and so.. happy. We moved into the Lubas Rd training center today, and thanks to anonymous donors, we were able to start outfitting the center. A few weeks ago, I placed an order for some completely customized computer tables based on the design we used at St. John’s. (Note: was that faith or what?) Each table sported a 1.5″ x 1″ solid steel frame, Mvule wood tops, CPU rack and cable guides. Each table weighed over 250 pounds, and each cost us only $140. If we’re ever homeless, we’ll live under these and survive a nuclear blast. We also bought cleaning supplies (mops, brooms, rags, a gallon of detergent, soap and towels for the bathroom, a squeegie, some buckets and some windex) for about $30. I hate cleaning. But today, it was a real labor of love. I loved every moment invested in this center today, and I got to spend some quality time working elbow-to-elbow with my family. Declan even helped out quite a bit. (Missed the pics of him because I forgot my camera on the morning shift.) Thanks to the donors that keep on supporting or work. This place is really starting to come together.
Kate was a big help… a cleaning genius. It took us three times as long to do everything she did!
We have tables!! And mops! And brooms! What a blessing!
Intense concentration on the squeegie. Fred approves. =)
Johnny,
It looks like your “contact me” captcha is broken. I want to talk to you about a donation of servers and possibly desktops. Hit me up on my email in this form.
