Steel Spaghetti

The electrician has been busy running the flexible conduit that houses the Family Life Center electrical cables. This photo is taken outside the area that will eventually contain the main power panel.

Work Moves Inside

The exterior brick and the roof are essentially finished with only the drive through remaining. We are awaiting delivery of the additional steel beams needed to replace the masonry columns that have been taken down. Work has moved inside the building with plumbing, electrical and heating/air conditioning contractors hard at work. The grass is starting to come up in the area of the storm drain outlet. This will stabilize the soil to reduce the chance of another washout like we experienced with Tropical Storm Ernesto

First Shiloh Expansion

The first expansion to Shiloh can be seen in this old aerial photo. This project created the existing fellowship hall. It is shown under construction.

Roofers Back on the Job

A two-man crew repairs damage to the roof from tropical storm Ernesto. The full crew is scheduled to return tomorrow and begin installation of the shingles.

Starting Point

While we focus on the completion of the new family life center, it is worthwhile to remember where we started. The photo shows Shiloh Baptist Church as it stood in 1958, a few years after being rebuilt due to tornado damage and before the two (soon to be three) expansions.

Construction Resumes!

Today the county inspected and approved the site work items that caused the hold on construction. This effort took much longer than expected due to damage caused by tropical storm Ernesto. The torrential rainfall washed out part of the storm drain system, repair of which extended the schedule. Work has now resumed on the building.
