I was absolutely amazed that I got the building permit. I figured they would come up with some sort of ordinance or something but they didn’t. Then what came next was even more surprising. I don’t know how it got all over town like it did but there are churches that have called with volunteers to help with the construction and even donating some money to buy the supplies. Several people in the community are donating used refrigerators, stoves, furniture and just about anything else you can imagine. I can’t explain what that has felt like.
I have a long list of supplies and will be heading out to Lowe’s Home Improvement Stores to make the purchases I’ll need. I was told that if you talk to the manager and they have things that have a scratch or whatever and it’s going to a good cause, they will cut the price a lot. I just hope what I heard is right. Man do I have a list of building supplies!!! But you know, even if they don’t give me big discounts on damaged items, they still have the best selection and prices in this town.
