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.

Final Touches


The exterior trim, soffit, and rain gutters are being installed on the drive through. The wood that covers the steel beams that extend out from the main structure (the large white panel in the photo) as well as the drive through ceiling and the underside of the brick arches will be covered in white EFIS. This is a stucco-like material, which will match the other white trim on the outside of the building. All exterior work should be complete by the end of next week.

Inside the grid for the drop ceiling is being installed.

Interior Work Moving Quickly


The interior sheet rock is in place and has been taped, sanded, and primed. The finish coats of paint will start next week along with the ceiling and flooring. The top photo shows the new fellowship hall as you look towards the kitchen. The second photo shows the entrance foyer as you enter from the drive through.

Masons Stage For The Final Time



The brick masons prepare to lay the remaining brick on the drive through. This will essentially complete the exterior construction.
