May 5

Concrete going down!
Carpet going down!

More carpet...
Jake hard at work on the sign ...
... until Scott showed up. (Just kidding ...)
Worship space all carpeted.
And the altar has arrived.
The sound booth ...
The secretary's office furniture
The pantry ....
Shelves and closets in the upstairs storage ...

Hard to believe it has been 3 weeks since I posted last. It has been busy!

April 15

Christ is risen! It has been busy here at the old building with holy week and went and Easter. It has also been a busy time over at the new building.

Crews have finished the exterior siding!

The water fountains have been installed.
On April 6, I got a shot of the women's bathroom counter.
This morning the fellows from Northern Electric were installing exterior lights.
The area that is marked off by the red chalk line designates the concrete that will be poured shortly. (And no, that is not a cowboy hat I am wearing; it is a fedora.)
The second door inside the main door has been hung, and the windows are being framed.
Office and classroom doors are up!
Exit signs as well.
A peak in the men's bathroom today shows that the porcelain and steel are all in. And yes, we put a baby changing table in the men's room, too.

March 31

Carpenters are putting casings around windows ...
More parts keep arriving ... this is the trim and casings.
South wall windows are finished.
The window to the office gets trimmed out.
Pastor's office and convertible. (The car is not actually part of the building project.)
The workroom cabinets.
The hospitality area also has cabinets and a sink for coffee, treats and the altar guild.
On Friday, Gary G and another volunteer got the dais (a fancy word for stage) put in the front of the worship space to hold the instruments and the altar.

Spring has come, and the bathroom tile is done!

The beams in the worship space are now uncovered from their protective wrapping. The lights and ceiling fans are up.


The siding is going up.
The tile in the front and back entries are done. Here is the front.
Siding work continues.

The drop ceilings are going up
The office and classrooms not only have ceilings but lights!
And the trim and door casings have arrived.

March 9

Quite a lot has been happening at the building on Greenwood Lane. Sorry that it's been a while since the last update ... Lent and all that.

The worship space lights are up. There are also some directional spots mounted in the ceiling to give additional light as needed.


This is Kurt from Northern Electric getting ready to install some more of the lights.
A new front door was put in last week.
Trim is being painted, inside and out, around the windows.
Suspended ceiling framework is going up. The last of the duct work is being done, and every room will have a ceiling mounted motion detector, center of the room above, to help reduce electric costs.
The bathroom porcelain has arrived; I rather doubt I'm going to post photographs of it when it's installed, so just know that it is here.
Light fixtures are now functional in much of the building. This is the men's bathroom where the sinks will go.
This morning, tile is being installed in the entryway and bathrooms.
And here, they have begun to peel back the protective coating from the ceiling joists in the worship space. If the picture is not clear they walnut stained wood laminate.
This was not done last week; as of this morning the suspended ceiling framework is finished in the offices, classrooms and the hallways.
And we have a new backdoor as well.

Pay no attention to the man reflected in that window.
