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.

Here are a couple of sneak peaks at the tiles in the pre-school hallway.  The floor covering will remain in place during construction to protect the tiles.

These views from September 6th visit show the new carpet and pendant lights.

Work on the baseboards is nearly complete.Most interior doors on the first floor have been installed.  This is the handbell closet on the south west corner of the sanctuary. Here is a view of the south east corner leading to the “back of house” and emergency exit.This view looking north shows the pendant lights, downlights and continuing work on the baseboards.  The open double doors frame the entry to the multi-function room between the sanctuary and youth roomThis last picture is taken from the north east corner looking toward the two vestibule exits which frame the tech booth in the middle.  The two doors on the right in the back are the electric room that supplies the sanctuary and the mechanical room containing the radiant heat system.

These pictures were taken Aug 29th.

The elevator will be constructed in phases.  First the rails and hydraulics, then assembly of the elevator itself.  These August 29th photos show the initial installation of the hydraulic cylinders.

Permits for the pouring of the roof deck were issued and final preparations have been completed.  The final test prior to installation of re-bar and placing of the concrete were leak tests completed August 29th.

Following the repair of one small leak plans call for the concrete to be poured after insulation and re-bar have been installed.

Our Church now has everything including the kitchen sink.

These August 29th photos show initial work in the kitchen in preparation of equipment installation.

Here are pictures taken August 23rd showing progress on all levels of the church.
