Waiting for Bids

I have limited financial resources but at least I have time. I have a place to live in NYC and my friend Deb has graciously let me stay in her guest room while I'm upstate working on the church. Right now we are waiting for an estimate to do the foundation work which is the most difficult and costly aspect of the renovation. Due to the site, there are some tricky maneuvers and I still have no idea how we are going to get the maple tree stumps out of the ground and install a curtain drain. This is where you let go, leave it to professionals and take a deep breath when you open your checkbook. 
Due to the slope of the land all the water and moisture has been seeping into to the south side of the church. Here's a photo of the southwest corner and you can see why we have to deal with the foundation.

This past weekend I primed some of the walls, mostly because there wasn't much else to do and I felt that it would help cleanse my palate of those odd colors and the even odder "mural".
Here is the "now you see it, now you don't".
That was very satisfying.
