Tearing down has its time – Building has its time

The tearing down took a long time; to get rid of everything burnt and smoke damaged has also taken time. Only the shell of the house was left. Tearing down has its time…

It turned out that the house had sunk, so some of the boards needed to be replaced. Even Håkan’s sauna in the cellar was damaged by moisture and had to be thrown out. Tearing down has its time…

Everything electrical, all radiators, all pipes…yes, tearing down has its time…

But now it’s a new time; the walls are being insulated and walls are being put up…the ceiling in the cellar, underfloor heating is being put in, the floor in the kitchen and living room are on their way…and the electrical is being mounted. Building has its time…

In the Bible it says, “There is a time for everything, …a time to tear down and a time to build,…” Eccl. 3:1a, 3b

Håkan has cautiously gone into the house to see how things are going. I have been in the house essentially every day since I came home from the hospital in the middle of March.

Right now, they are on the roof, replacing it, so please pray for nice weather for us. It will be a new tile roof.

In a few days, we’ll put a new picture presentation about the house on the blog, so you can see what is happening on Sigelhultsvägen in Uddevalla.

Tearing down has its time – Building has its time!

Thank you for your prayers, even for the house!

God bless you!
Hugs,
Gunilla
