I'd been waiting to mention anything so I could show the finished product. It's finally done!
We went a few months ago to the county office looking for service opportunities, because we weren't getting to do much of anything in that department. They hooked us up with a project in Moran (tiny town 10 minutes outside of Iola). Over several weeks we converted an old gas station into a public gym! It was sick. We usually did painting and then crammed in a few odd jobs (decorating and cleaning) before the grand opening.
This room took SO much paint. We had to cover another darker color and some wallpaper. You can't really see it, and they don't have all the equipment yet, but this is the actual gym room.

Free food :D
Here's the outside. The Decals on the windows were such a pain to put on in the wind.
It's definitely been my favorite service project I've done so far! The county liked us enough that they mentioned having us build a playground in a different town and I wanna do that so freakin bad!
And guess what else? During the open house they did LINE DANCING. Hahahaha it was awesome (':
