As you may
know, I am involved in volunteering my time and energy and work on Kingdom Hall
construction.
What this
means is that I go and work my butt off on a building site, for free, because I
enjoy it and I feel its a way of my showing love for my neighbour.
Recently
however I got the privilege to work along with many of my friends on a local
kingdom hall, in Adams Mission, which is just around the corner. The unusual
part for me and many of my friends is that we got to work on this particular
hall from the day they broke ground all the way until it was handed over and
ready to use! You see, normally we each have our teams that we work with and
only do one weekend of the whole build, some are there for the roofing weekend,
others for the bricking, some for the day they throw the concrete slab, and
still others for the painting.
In all it
took about 12 weeks to complete. I first arrived on site about a week after
they cleared the brush and leveled the ground in the last week of September,
and I was honored to be there in the first week of December when all the
chairs where in and we were just doing the last bit of painting touch ups.
Because I
have been on many builds, I have taken many of the regular types of photos of
the build. But with Adams Mission, my goal was to take "time lapse"
style photos and to take unusual photos. So, Here's a link to my Photo blog of the build:
