For Sharing Gods Love
I like to work on projects for people who can't pay me back. That's how I share the feeling of what God has done for me. About a year and a half ago I was loading tools into the back of my truck to go do one of those projects, and I thought to myself, "Lord, someday when I'm rich enough I want to have a trailer that I can keep all my tools in."
As this past New Year's Eve approached, I remembered that 'prayer' and realized I wasn't likely to ever be rich enough, so I took the money I had been saving up for some toy or other and bought myself a 5x10 utility trailer.
I arranged all my 'stationary' woodworking equipment around the perimeter of the trailer-- Table saw in the back, chop saw in the middle, bandsaw and drill press in the front corners, and so on, and kept moving them around until I could use them all without having to move any of the rest of them around. Then I built the sides and roof so that I could back the whole mess into a standard garage.
I stuck the rest of the stuff I use for construction projects wherever it seemed to make the most sense. Here is the result:
It's down to where I can pull up to a job and if I know where the electricity is, be at work in less than five minutes, because I don't have to unpack anything to get started. Here are some side views of the trailer at a job we did for a family this weekend...
As you can see, the trailer even has compressed air and dust collection.
So now, Edna, Robert and I are totally prepared to answer the call whenever and wherever the need arises. We can reach out in love anywhere in the country The Spirit calls us from our home base here in Houston and be there in three days or less.
Maybe we can work together with you real soon.
