NTMA Housing

One of the many, many projects that are taking place here at NTMA is the housing. The trailer homes have been with NTMA for a very long time.

This trailer is a guest trailer we call it little blue. When you go inside you get the feeling you should be at one of the many lakes in MI. camping. The inside gives you an RV feel. In the 50's is when travel trailers became made into permanent Mobil homes. In our own bathroom we get the feel like we are in a RV too. Everything is made for a 4ft person. Both Ace and I have to shrink to rinse our hair when we shower. Ace has to lean to the side to see his face in the mirror when he shaves. Kind of fun...well for me to watch. I' know Ace doesn't think it's all that fun.
Here is the back side of Little Blue. I took this picture because of the trailer lights. I really think they should sell little Blue on eBay as an antique.


This is the front of our trailer. Most all of the trailers have trailer hitches. I have never seen a trailer hitch on a Mobil trailer until we moved to Florida. I think its because Mobil trailers don't last very long in the snowy weather.


NTM Maintenance Team has been working on a new house since we've arrived. It is fun and exciting to watch them build the next home. It is a very slow progress since a big portion of the work is done by volunteers.
The cement mixer has arrived! I've been waiting for him.
This work team came for only the cement poring a one day event.
Another team came to put up the frame, a week event. The group that came to put this frame up comes every year to do this ministry. One of the guys on this team lost his life when he fell from the roof and landed on the back of his head. It was a tragic experience for us here at NTMA.
And then again another team came to put up the siding and windows. Just last week another volunteer team came to put in the insulation and dry wall. I talked to the Missionary who will be living in this home and she said it looks like September that she gets to move in. Yeah! In the background is the a the house they built last year.
