Moving Along!

We wanted to stop in and let you know the current activities up on the mountain.
The kitchen is moving along nicely.
You remember that the tile floors got finished and now we working on getting the walls painted.
Holly picked out a color that will work great with the tile and cabinets.The painter is Sharon....Mrs Joy took this picture. Doesn't the color look nice?
We also got the front entrance way tile in....doesn't it look great?

The next big project has been the mudroom. We got the foundation poured for the mudroom.
And then it was time to get some walls up.
Here are Jeff and Keith working on getting the first wall up.
Notice Mrs Joy in the background making sure the job is being done properly? :)
It is hard to catch her for a picture...but we manage it.
She makes a great project manager!

The kitchen painting is finished and Holly approves!
Holly is a lot like her mom....it is hard to catch her with the camera because she is usually behind the big equipment....but Keith thought she should take credit for the color selection.
Next for the kitchen.....the cabinets.
You will notice that there have been some more trees cleared here in front of the main house. The clearing is making way for an incredible view from both the bedrooms downstairs and the walk around porch. Holly is clearing them out so that we may have a fire pit closer to the House of Joy. There is one already down by the camping sites...but this will make it nice for the people staying in the main house.

If you are interested in coming up and helping with the completion of any project... please let us know. We would be glad to set you up with something that needs to be completed and let you work on your schedule.
We do have a group coming in at the end of September from Antioch Baptist Church....please feel free to call about that date if you would like to join us.

Please continue to pray for the progress of this work of God.
Pray that God would continue to guide those involved with Mountain Top Experience.
We are really anticipating having the mountain open by March of the coming year.
May God continue to bless this work done for His names sake.

New news!


Hey all....just thought I would post some of what has been taking place on the mountain.
Holly has done a great job on the wall next to House of Joy.....we will have some youth coming in on the 15th of this month and they will plant some ivy around some of the rocks.
It really is a spectacular wall!
Also, we have now had a load of gravel brought in.....so we can drive right up to the house
come rain or shine!

The above vehicle arrived late yesterday afternoon.
This new addition to MTE will make it easier for Mrs Joy to get around and it also seats six! So we can allow people to park down the hill if needed and then carpool them up to the main house.


Mrs Joy and Holly picked out the tile for the kitchen and entrance way.....so it's in the process of going down this weekend. The kitchen is finished except for the grouting and the entrance way will be finished by next week. We are excited to see all the things that are taking place.
The House of Joy is getting really close to being finished!

Work continues around the grounds.
Holly, Jeff, and Kieth continue to clear a few trees here and there so that the view from the porch will give those visiting a great view of the mountains in the distance.

This is the next project.
Supplies have arrived and as soon as the tile inside is finished.....this project will begin.
Plans are underway for a small room that would give people a place to get out of the wind or rain.....and it will also act as a wind buffer for the main floor.

We welcome your help!
Please call to find out when our next work group is coming in. Or if you have some spare time during the week....call and we would be glad to put you to work!

Thanks again for your prayers.
