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.

Ugly? Tree

Remember The Ugly Tree?

(The tree behind the camaro)
When we bought this beautiful old church, we cut her down, and Duane made her useful.

Pretty Tree!
But Ugly tree isn't done. She wants to come back!

Ugly Bush!

This tree wants to live.  Coming soon: the Stump Grinder!

Meanwhile the youngest Picard takes to the trees!

Nice breeze up here! 
The sweltering July heat made activity challenging, but that didn't stop work on D'Barn Door.



I'll start low...

We'll go high...

D'Barn Door is becoming red!


Hey Duane, your Barn Door is open!
UGH! Did you really just say that?
