These pictures were taken this afternoon around 3pm.They show the new Church from various angles from along N Fifth Street and Santa Clara. 

Notice the effect of the shade trees on the Sanctuary windows.

From some angles you can also see the north side of the tower base and the frames for the two panels of glass.  From many angles the north side of the tower base is not visible.

The exterior scaffolding was removed to reveal much of the Church exterior as work continues on electrical.

These pictures were taken  from various point of the roof September 19th.

The primary entry way to the Church will likely be via the Atrium off S Fifth Street.  The secondary entry way will be from Santa Clara which will provide easiest access to the Narthex, Sanctuary and upper floors if the Atrium gate is down.

The pictures below show these views looking into and out of the Church.  There is also an Atrium view from the second floor balcony.

This morning the concrete pump was set up and ready to go by 7:30.  Forms were checked for final level and the concrete truck rolled in shortly after 8.  The teams completed the pour around 10:30. All under the watchful eye of Larry Smedley.

When the city planning deparment requested a change in our plans from pavers to poured concrete for the roof patio our structural engineer, architect and general contractor re-designed the roof deck which delayed the project and increased the cost of the new Church.  The pour this morning used light-weight concrete poured over re-bar which in turn was supported by a layer of foam planks.  The resulting concrete varied in thickness from 3″ to 5″.  It was then stamped to provide a paver-like surface.

These pictures show the equipment set-up.

Lines and forms were checked on last time for level and height.

The concrete pump boom was then positioned for the pour.

First concrete on the roof !

Finished  the shortly after 10:30

Door installation continues.  These pictures of doors now in place on the second floorwere taken this morning.

As we remember past events we look forward to the future in anticipation of our new Church.

Progress on the roof deck has been slowed by the permitting process.  Soon the insulation will be installed on the deck, re-bar added and the roof deck will be poured. Above the roof deck progress on the base of the tower that will support the cross continues.

Progress on the stucco work on the north-facing walls continues.

Here are a few September 6th pictures of the first ride in the elevator.

This is a view looking up taken between the first and second floor.

The hydraulics for our system includes a double piston to cover the entire range from first floor to third floor.

The ThyssenKrupp team first assembled the rails and installed the hydraulics.  They then built the base platform and tested out the hydraulics.

Next step will be to assemble the elevator car itself.  Once completed the elevator will be ready to go – except for small matter of programming which will be done closer to building occupancy time.
