Rachel's return




So Rachel has returned from a few weeks away from Mildred. Her first day back she was showing some people around, and pointing out all of the nifty aspects of Mildred. Rachel opens a door to show a bedroom that Mildred has and this is how Mildred greeted her. Thankfully no one was using this room at the time.

Flooding

For the Second time since we have been taking care of her, Mildred's plumbing backed up. The worst part about it is it happens to be in our kitchen. We talked to a plumber who said we will need to have Indah Water come and pump it out. So after Indah Water came they informed us that there is actually three different clogged places in the system. And the system is not made the way that it should be. Poor Mildred, it is not her fault. So after several phone calls by several people and a few hours of waiting and working She is going good again.

Spring clean


We had two teams (in addition to our normal group) one from Sabah, and one on their way around the world who helped us with our spring clean of Mildred. She looked and smelled better than she had in a long time.

Roof.


Mildred is old. And her construction is not the same as modern standards. A visiting team, that was very helpful, was staying there when one of the team members decided that Mildred's roof would be a great place to do their quiet time as the sun set. Not realizing that Mildred is fragile. So this volunteer fell through the roof down 20 feet, through the ceiling and ended up in the hallway on the 2nd floor. Surprisingly the volunteer suffered only bruises, and a couple cuts needing stitches. Mildred was worse off however; Her electric was cut, she had a large whole in her roof and ceiling, and she had a hallway full of rubble. So a temporary roof was fixed that night, and over the next few days the electricity was fixed partly then wholly, the roofers, electricians, and ceiling people all came and did their work on Mildred. Who now looks great.

Mildred

Say hello to Mildred.
