Starting a New Assignment.....Upland Kingdom Hall!

Kim and I had the privilege of volunteering our time this last weekend on a new assignment for
RBC (Regional Building Committee).
 We were assigned to the Safety/First-Aid compliance department for the Upland Kingdom Hall that will be built here in Upland.
 This building was previously a Coco's Restaurant. There is much work that will be done on this project. The parking lot has already been completed with new concrete and it looks beautiful!
 The interior has been gutted and the foundation also had to be removed. 
Apparently it was not up to code. So new concrete will be poured. 
Inside the gutted building we went over the daily text before breakfast.
 The Spanish congregation provided a wonderful breakfast for us as usual!
It's always encouraging working with our brothers and sisters.
As you can see this site is in it's raw state, not even concrete is poured yet on the inside!

The security crew sits out here all night and they have a small fire pit going all night to keep warm.
This is an area with a lot of crime and theft and they have experienced all kinds of characters coming on to the site to steal and vandalize, so this is so necessary!!!!

Inside, the remnants of the facade to the old Coco's restaurant.

Safety was much needed there!!!!

Several brothers were on the roof  waterproofing it. 
They volunteered their time all day until the job was done.
Very hard workers!

We look forward to seeing this site evolve into a beautiful Kingdom Hall in the next few months.
I will keep you posted with the progress.....
