Today was pew-day at MCPC! More than 40 people turned out — well, maybe half of those were under the age of 15, but given Abby’s sanding, and Elijah and William’s drilling/screwing — not to mention childcare and general usefulness — I’d say the 8-14 year olds did their fair share!
Thanks to Hugh Lynn for capturing this day on camera — and thanks to the whole crew for a hard day’s work. All 26 pews are now cut down to size, and due to the sanding efforts of Rachael and Deborah and Jay and Karen and Margaret (and Abby!!), we have a pretty fair estimate of what it will take to finish the job.
At the beginning of the day, the task looked daunting: turn all these 19-foot pews into 14-foot pews… and start sanding them down.
But Jay was ready for the task!
And the masterminds put their heads together and came up with a plan…
Everyone pitched in!
And as the afternoon progressed, the pews disappeared!
We finally had to tell the sanders to stop…
The last pew makes its entrance! Now we just need to sand and stain them!!
