Fine tuning wires and attachments.
And TA DA!!! Praise the Lord for these 19 days of of work. I think they had to come back one day and finish calking. We are now able to use it on Sundays, which is so amazing!
This was a super last-minute project, but it is one that Tonio has been wanted to do for years. As soon as Gor let us know his guys were available the 3 weeks before Christmas, we jumped at the opportunity! It has improved not only the kitchen, but the air circulation, water heating system, electricity and insulation. Thank you Jesus for your provision and for this church building. We want to take care of it the best we can! May all who use this kitchen sense your presence and peace and be blessed.
