Painting Continues

Painting conintues is many areas of the Church.  Each day additional rooms are painted.  In some cases this is the preparation/primer for the final finish.  In other cases the painting being completed is the final finish, for example in the youth room and back-of-house.sanctuary painting

Sheetrocking Leads to Ceilings

Sheetrock has been installed in a majority of the building now.  There is some touch up and a few areas are yet to be completed.  As sheetrocking is completed ceiling frames are installed so electrical and HVAC systems can be finished.

These pictures are of pre-school rooms.

Up in the Clouds

As you may have noticed in previous drawings, there will be “clouds” hanging just below the Sanctuary ceilings.  These will be both cosmetic as well as functional.  Construction of these rectangular shapes has started.

Network Wiring

Even though a majority of the connectivity we utilize in our daily live today is via wireless technology, there are many wires in the walls, ceilings and passageways that enable this technology.  In the new Church there will be hard wired phones, networks for transferring data, and wireless access point that are driven by hard wires.

The pictures below, taken July 11th, are a random sampling of wires and in many cases bundles of wires that support our connectivity in a safe, reliable manner.

Second Floor Restoom Plumbing

These July 11th pictures provide a glimpse at the structures that support the toilets and connect them to the water sources and drains – usually not seen as they are behind the walls.
