Joel did the vanity and the medicine cabinets
Beautiful laundry room door!

We randomly met a realtor at an open house who has been passing his name around all over town. Most of the homes Joel has worked on were sold by this realtor, and we are so blessed by the clients she has passed along to Joel. He is great at remodeling, and even better at the details. I'm not sure how many people I know who LOVE what they do, and I'm so thankful my husband is able to enjoy each day, and the new challenges it brings.
We have been blessed to meet a lot of new faces around Lancaster City. One of the greatest blessings to Joel's business was a man named Albert. He rode up on his bike one day, explained that he was laid off and not able to find any work. He said he knew construction, and could do practically anything...so Joel decided to give him a chance. Joel came home stunned by all that Albert new. Joel told him he couldn't promise steady hours, but when he was needed, Joel called him. The two of them ended up working together almost daily, and a friendship developed. Albert wasn't perfect. He had his weaknesses, which sometimes caused him to miss a day of work here or there, but he was genuine, and enjoyed spending his days with Joel as much as Joel enjoyed working with Albert. He wasn't always the easiest person to love, but I'm so proud of Joel for investing time into Albert. I know Albert taught Joel a lot as well. Albert decided a few months ago to move to Colorado. We are SO excited for him to get a fresh start in a new town with his lady friend :) Albert is missed! Joel has another friend working with him now, but I know Joel misses his buddy.
All of this to say, I'm so proud of my hubby. He has not only been able to provide for our family, but he finds joy in what he does, and that blesses our family just as much. I have wanted to post a few pictures of some of his projects for a while now, so here they are! Thanks for letting me brag for a bit :)

So glad to hear that you will have time to blog again! Great work, Joel! I love the laundry room sliding door. John did something similar in our old house and it was my *favorite* thing in the remodel that we did. Great job, Joel, for giving Albert a chance, too. God does the same thing :)
