Pulling Nails
January 20, 2025
In an effort to save money in our carpentry shop, we like to repurpose wood. Old picnic tables have turned into workbenches; leftovers from a barn are now a rolling tool wall; and a dilapidated shelving unit will be a part of a lumber storage unit.
Most of the time, the used lumber has nails, screws and/or bolts in it that need to be removed. It’s a tedious and usually frustrating process, but it needs to be done.
A handful of boys helped take nails out of the last batch of wood. They were excited to use oversized hammers and crowbars. We told a few stories (most of them true) while working and had a root beer at the end of the project.

Help Us Provide Welcome Kits!
When new children arrive at the home, often they come with very little in the way of basic items that they need to settle in to our community and feel welcome.
We have created a Welcome Kit that each child is given upon arrival that consists of a duffle bag filled with those basic items they need to get off to a good start.
