Almost Ready for Shingles

Most of the roof structure is complete. The masons are making good progress in applying the exterior brick. The roof over the drive-through will be delayed due to a design change, which will add more steel. That steel will not arrive for about a month. This delay will not affect work on the rest of the building. The second photo is taken inside the new fellowship hall from Todd Brinklow's new sound booth. It should put to rest any concerns about whether the new fellowship hall is large enough.

What a Difference a Week Makes!

The Kitchen/Bathroom area and the Fellowship Hall are under roof. Only the Chapel area remains uncovered. The steel beams that support the cover over the drive through should go up next week allowing the final section of roof to be completed. Notice in the second photo that the masons are back and laying the exterior brick.

Framing Completed

The framing team has completed framing of the exterior and interior walls so the layout of the Family Life Center is now fully apparent. The first photo shows the walls of the chapel with the wrap around handicap ramp. The second photo shows the new kitchen. The third shows the exterior walls, which are ready to receive the roof trusses. The trusses are now scheduled to be set in place starting Monday.

Stained Glass Window Update Two

We have received interest from Shiloh members in donating a total of four stained glass windows. The builder is sending information for us to select the final designs and colors. Our intention is to install two of them in the left two openings in the existing wall shown in the photo. The rightmost window will be replaced with a door. The remaining two stained glass windows will be installed in the chapel. The floor of the chapel can be seen in the area surrounded by the handicap ramp and the stairway seen in the photo.

Framing - Finally!

We lost almost two weeks due to weather, holidays and scheduling issues, but the framing crew has started at last. The remaing outside walls of the Family Life Center are of frame construction with brick exterior. They are now starting to go up. The crane is scheduled for Thursday to commence installation of the roof trusses, which have been on-site for some time.
