Parking Lot Paved

Goodloe Paving is shown as they pave our new parking lot. Striping is scheduled for this Friday. Meanwhile DeBenard construction has commenced grading of the turn lane. Inside finishing touches are proceeding rapidy. The fire alarm system is finished and testing of communications with the monitoring service commenced today. Landscaping can proceed now that paving is finished.

Final Grading

Our excavation contractor is performing final grading on the parking lot. Paving should begin soon. The gravel for the left turn lane at the eastern entrance has been delivered and construction will start shortly. Inside the electrician is completing hook up of the fire alarm system. The range hood is installed in the kitchen and lacks only the vent duct and outside fan motor. The regular monthly Shiloh business meeting held on 5 June was conducted in the new Fellowship Hall. Everything is fully functional except for the kitchen.

Watering the New Lawn

The landscape contractor has started. The area in front of the new Family Life Center has been sodded. Many trees and shrubs will follow. Inside, we are about 99% completed. Ducting of the range hood in the kitchen and hook-up of the fire alarm system remain. Outside, landscaping, paving of the parking lot, and creating the left-turn lane remain.

Finishing Up

Our builder is in the final phase of construction. The lighting, heating/air conditioning, and plumbing work is complete and final touch up painting is in progress. Ceiling work is finished, the stage curtain is in place, baseboards and chair rails are mounted. The bathroom fixtures are operational and the kitchen appliances are here awaiting installation. The chairs are stacked in anticipation of our first event. Remaining work includes the delivery and installation of the kitchen range hood and the center-island stainless table. Meanwhile outside, paving and striping of the parking lot, landscaping, and construction of the left turn lane remain. The Tod Hostetter, our site superintendent, expects full completion in three weeks.

Getting Closer to Completion

The ceiling tiles are going in and the overhead lighting fixtures are in. The wood trim has been stained and installation will start this week. The interior doors are being installed today. In the kitchen the commercial dishwasher, clothes washer, and dryer are here. The ranges and refrigerators are scheduled for the 30th. On the 26th the tables and chairs will arrive. Outside the forms are being set for the last of the concrete work. Once the slabs for the outside units are poured the heating and air-conditioning contractor can complete his work.

Stained Glass Installed

The stained glass was installed yesterday. The first photo shows the hallway outside the chapel. The second photo is taken from inside the chapel.





In the last photo the round windows in the entrance foyer can be seen.

Drive Through Finally Completed

The seemingly never-ending drive through construction is now over. This photo shows the pressure washing crew cleaning the exterior of the new building. The round openings seen in the photo will be filled with stained glass on Tuesday. The pouring of the last of the concrete curbing and the paving of the parking lot will start within the next few weeks.

Interior Work Continues to Move Quickly

The ceiling grid is now in place along with the projector screen. The light fixtures are currently being installed and the stained glass windows will go in this Tuesday. The ductwork will complete next week and floor coverings will start the week following. This photo of the Fellowship Hall is taken from the floor-level sound booth.

Breakout!

This photo is taken from the old nursery and shows the doorway into the new Family Life Center. A six foot double door will soon be installed in this opening. The door to the chapel is down the steps and to the right with the fellowship hall straight ahead. The handicapped ramp is immediately to the right.
