Our big news is that we just finished the installation of a brand new shower trailer. This comes to us from many different hands and hearts in Virginia led by the fine folks at St Andrews Presbyterian Church in Kilmanock, Virginia.
The idea for the trailer came as a result of two previous PDA trips this church made. Paul Ryan, a contractor, got ideas from facilities he found. The first PDA trip he went on offered a shower tent that blew down during a storm. The next trip he found a shower trailer. He says he is always on the lookout to how things are built and how he could build them better. So he started designing a way to make a shower trailer even better.
Paul had the honor of the first showerSt Andrews went home and invited other churches to help. Together they raised $15,000 to buy a used trailer and install six shower stalls(wider than average). Each shower has a private dressing area so it's the next best thing to home. Actually, it's probably better than home. At home you can't talk to your friends while you shower.
It also has a central washroom with mirrors, electric outlets and sinks. A "slop sink" outside is for those really dirty hands from drywall mud or paint. This way you can clean off before you even come into our shower.
This is the very latest in shower design and we're proud to have it here at Olive Tree.
Judy Thomson helped with the final painting
Putting up the step rails finished the job. This is Jim Myers, Tony Stanley and Tom Coye putting the step railing to finish the job.
