Sweat Equity

Our church has been finishing the interior northside of our building. We had professionals do the plumbing and electrical work. Now the church family is adding sweat equity.

We figure we are saving many thousands using volunteers. Our building budget is very very tight so we need to rely upon ourselves to do the finish work.

During the week in the evenings and many hours on Saturday, the place is a swarm of worker bees. It is taking a long time because the progress depends on the workers and the hours.

The drywall is up and taped. The mudding is partially done. Soon the sanding and remudding and sanding to finish the walls smooth will happen.

Not everyone has talents for this part of the work but those folks will take up a brush to paint or stain in the future. Many have brought in meals. Others are available for clean ups.

We are a family where each one has his/her own talents. To achieve our goal we need everyone. Like in our own homes, not everyone can fix a toilet or replace a light fixture.

But each one has skills that can be useful. What skills do you have that save your own budget $?
