Very exciting update: Off to the builders!

Did you see my slab of concrete video yet? If not, you need to see that first otherwise what I’m about to say will make no sense!

It’s here:

OK, so you saw the big space opposite the slab of concrete where houses are going?

It’s the builder of those that I’m off to meet today.

He saw the big Give A Brick banner and wants to talk about donating bricks and other stuff. Cool eh? ;)

Between you and me, I’m hoping he might like to send his people over to our place to build it when they have spare hands and time to kill but that might be wishful thinking.

Our prayer warrior Carol doesn’t think so. I’ll let you know how it goes.

In the meantime though, if you are so inclined, please have a chat with God about this on our behalf. Things always go a lot smoother when we let him in on the act ;)

Thanks :)

UPDATE July 22nd

I’m back from meeting with Scott from Redrow and it was brilliant! His people had authorized him to ask us if we’d be willing to put a Redrow sign next to our giant Give A Brick banner on the end wall. In exchange, they want to (as a bare minimum) give us all the blocks for the rest of the project!

I mentioned very casually about them doing the remainder of the build either as a donation or at cost and guess what he said …

“Stranger things have happened!”

How cool a reply is that?! I’m taking the building specifications to him next week and we’re going to talk some more.

So, if you are the praying type, keep doing it. If you’re more into talking to the universe, please do that on our behalf too. I know the creator of the universe will be listening and we could use all the help and support we can get with this.

And that’s it for now. Oooh, I do have one more thing to show you. But that will have to wait for a new post all of it’s own. It’s too brilliant to tag on the end of this piece of exciting news. Watch this space ;)

    That’s so exciting El. Will be hoping, praying etc that they can find a way to donate some time for the building part of the project as well. BTW LOVE the new banner and the changes to the layout. xx

    I am told it was Confucius who said, “May you live in interesting times!” I think we could say the same about exciting times. As this is perhaps the most exciting to date for GAB.
