Digging, Framing, Plumbing

A lot of activity going on inside and outside! I've been away the last couple of weeks on travel for business and then vacation with the Boy Scout Troop in the Florida Keys! So let's get up to speed with what has been going on. As we can see the parking lot has a long trench through it to make way for the new water and electric service to be brought in from the street. This will connect through the back corner of the rectory and garage area and continue on to the Church. Progress is slow in the foundation area of the portion of the building to be added on. The recent rains have made it impossible to create the foundation and complete the pipe work for the water. In the meantime, the sprinkler system piping in the cafeteria is almost complete. Not tested, but at least the work in the ceiling is almost done. Next up for that crew, continue up into the Church. The framing in the old gathering area is complete (including the new accessible restroom and the location for the elevator) as is the choir loft. Framing has been added to the east and west walls as well. Wiring is being pulled through that framing for electric and sound systems. Next up come the plumbers! We'll check in later in the week to see how things are going.

Thanks for following along.

The Fair is Over

Well, we've gotten past the fair and things are settling into the normal summer routine around here. All except for the recent activities, some seen and not seen. We can see the beginnings of site work really happening now, with holes and trenches being excavated for the new manholes and drainage systems. Also going in will be water and electrical services in the near future. On the inside a very noticable absence to be explained, the organ has been removed. Speaking with Gene over the weekend, we have an organ on loan, while our new organ is under construction! We'll gather some of the details of that as we move ahead. Thanks for following along.

Ps 34:1 I will bless the Lord at all times. His praise will always be in my mouth.
