Electric box

This is an old Russian electric fuse box. These fuses are repaired when they burn out. You take the caps of each end and run as many strands of wire that you want through the housing. Then you put the caps back on. The more amps you want the more strands of wire you use. We are going to be replacing this box with a up to date circuit breaker box.

   
Lunch time We have a cook that will cook a hot meal for all those working on the building. We feed as many as 15 men and women. For some of these workers this will be the only hot meat that they will have in a day.
   
Ibeam We have been able to install 6 inch steel i-beams to ad strength to the floors that were made of wood. This is looking up from the future sanctuary.
   
class room We have removed walls in several of the old hotel rooms to make them suitable for larger classroom. These will also be used for alcohol abuse classes. We are also talking about using these for quiet study rooms for the university students living near the building.
   
water valves This is the new and improved water valve room. This room houses all of the water valves for the heat to the building and the domestic water. We have replaced many of the pipes and valves, many of which had been patched or almost rusted through.
   
sheetrocker Most of the remodeling has been done on the middle building that is mostly made of wood. The apartments were finished in sheetrock. Mongolia carpenters are not used to sheetrock. They are trained in concrete and brick walls, where you finish the walls first then cut in groves to lay the electric in. Then put all the plumbing out side the wall. We had a great time trying to explain that we wanted the electric and plumbing in the wall before putting the sheetrock on. This is not a church member but one of the carpenters hired to remodel the apartments.
