Billy Fulmer, who has worked for 8 years
with Freyaldenhoven Mechanical and has
worked on the Children’s Center since
October, notices the unique design of the
building, like the unusual variety of window
sizes, shapes, and positions. “It’s definitely
different. The windows upstairs are cool
because kids of different ages can see out.”
The Look On Their Faces
Most of the people doing the physical work
to build our Children’s Center won’t be
around to see the kids’ reactions when they
get their first look at the finished building.
They’ll be on their way to other jobs by then.
Sledge imagines what it would be like to see
the kids’ faces as they get their first look at
their new place. “Compared to what they’re
in now, it’s going to be like a mansion!”
Just Doing My Job
“Just doing my job.” That’s the way they
describe it.
At Our House, we value the work done by
Jason Wiles, Eddie Sledge, Billy Fulmer, and
all of the other individuals who for months
have spent their days digging, measuring,
pouring, climbing, sawing, drilling, nailing,
lifting, stacking, wiring, plumbing, painting,
cleaning, and doing more than we’ll ever
know to put this building together.
“Just doing my job?” That may be true, but
it’s an important job.
