We finished the Freeman home and almost finished the C. King home on Spruce.  We are waiting on Lowe’s for the 6th week to get us a set of shower walls.  Maybe next week. Subfloor and walls were installed in 3 homes. Insulation and sheetrock installed in 2 homes, trim work in several homes as well as lots of electrical and plumbing.  Waiting on more HVAC duct to be finished. Best way to put it is “lots got done this week and home owners are happy.”

Put together a skilled team and give us a call on when y’all want to come to Lumberton to help share the gospel and rebuild homes.

One team stayed all week and several others came for a few days or just one day. Painting was completed until kitchen cabinets are installed at the J McMillian home. The Thomas home is now complete thanks to the international group who spent many hours painting, cleaning, hooking up plumbing and the final trim work. The Freeman home will get HVAC next week along with some final TLC and it will be complete. In the C King home the flooring is almost finished, kitchen cabinets and vanities are in waiting on tops, most doors and trim work complete as well as electrical.  The S. King home got flooring and trim work started as well as bath hooked up after some minor changes.  Also the homes on Hay Street moved a lot closer to being ready to start towards finishing.  Part of a team painted the dock entrance to the rebuild facility.

Still lots of work to be done in Lumberton. Our needs at this time are for small volunteer teams with building skills. We have several homes that teams have replaced the roof and now the inside repairs need to be done while the home owners are still living there. We also have homes that need plumbing rough in and hook up done.

Give us a call to schedule your trip.

It’s been a very busy week in Lumberton. Had several past volunteers to come help rebuild. It is great to have teams that have been before. Not only is it a volunteer reunion but you already know what the group is qualified to do. This week experienced teams worked at many homes. Some worked at Shirley King’s home hanging sheet rock and rearranging her bath.  The Thomas home had the hardwood floors and kitchen cabinets installed.  The Freeman home also got flooring installed and electrical finished .  J. McMillian’s home got hardwood and tile completed, doors hung and trim installed as well as mostly painted. The McComb home has been painted and is now ready for window trim and flooring . The Eady and McCoy homes are almost finished gutting.  Floor system replacement should start this week.  Christian Aid has helped with two roof replacements also.

Last Sunday afternoon we attended the Black History Celebration at Sandy Grove Baptist Church and received a plaque for NCBM volunteer service in Lumberton.
