I can’t count all the times I’ve been approached about what my job in Construction Services entails……many friends and family members are convinced I do maintenance, grounds or a hodge-podge of both.  Many are surprised to hear that at Messiah Village we have enough work to keep 5 guys in Construction Services busy all year long.  Perhaps I should keep a copy of the recent Echoes newsletter in my back pocket as convincing evidence of what keeps us busy day to day.  My good friend Nathan Shields took the time to highlight some of the statistics and projects that keep Construction Services humming:

• Last year we completed 93 renovations, varying in size and detail
• We renovated 13 cottages in the average time of 61 days
• 13 apartments were renovated in the average time of 50 days
• 61 assisted living rooms were revamped in the average time of 4 days

I love the variety of tasks that we perform on a daily basis; plumbing, electrical, framing and the always popular painting.  But what I love most is the look in a new resident’s eye when they see the finished product……..        we’re not just transforming spaces, we’re enhancing lives!
