What is the White Church Gallery?

Mike and Carrie Zaitz are renovating an old Methodist Church in Grindstone City, Michigan. Mike claims he just wanted a place to work on his art. He sold Carrie on it, since she's usually up for adventures. From that happy December of 2011 till now, the investment in time and money has seen the church rebuilt from its glorious bones into a work of art, in progress. Carrie is documenting the process because, well, it's easier to hold a camera than to hold an edging sander. She's done both, because she is having an adventure, but it is Mike who drives this project with his intelligence, talent and energy. Together they are working toward creating an art gallery. A gallery which holds objects of beauty and inspiration, but which always points back to the source, our heavenly Father.

White Church Revealed!



White Church post 60's redo
So we've been "willing to tell you,  wanting to tell you,  waiting to tell you!" What's behind the ceiling? Is it the roof? Is it more wood? Is it BAGS of GOLD???


Should we tell?



Okay, no bags of gold, but even better: The wood ceiling! A peaked ceiling, and...more wall and a groovy curve near the top! Jackpot!



Before...
And After...




So she definitely needs a LOT more love, where love = bags of gold, but she'll never go back to the 60's! 
Meanwhile, here's what happened to the Ugly Tree!

Stumpy!
