The Carriage House

Steady progress is being made on the Carriage House and every step brings new excitement!

Last week a large load of timber was delivered from Terry Kell's own bush. It has been kiln dried and will be used to build the framework for the porches and decks. It will also be turned into beautiful trim for the Great Room by our very skilled contractor, John Hayward. The Great Room is a large meeting room on the upper level. It has a cathedral ceiling and a lovely stonework fireplace.

The stone work on the outside of the building has been completed by C and S Masonry. The plumbing is being completed as we go by Ladder‘s Plumbing of which Dane Stevens has been employee for almost 3 years. The siding has arrived being generously donated by Ross Mitchell‘s company, Gemthane. John and the crew have been diligently milling, sanding and assembling a beautiful solid maple door and window trim at the workshop here at the Ranch.

Much of the upper level has been primed and painting continues by Mel's daughter Michele. The Carriage House is a great demonstration of the greatness of God and the goodness of His people!

Nico Koeslag is responsible for Building Maintenance and has lived on-site as full-time staff with his lovely wife, Sharon since 2003. They are parents, grandparents and adopted family to many!
