Update 3-12-08
Brother and Sisters
As you may have seen, progress on our new building is being made. The winter weather has slowed things down from the schedule but probably not by too much on the completion end, yet. Our construction is about 40% complete as of 2/28/08. We are yet a couple weeks from having the building enclosed.
Currently there is about 2 1/2 ft of frost in the ground inside the building. All of the "in the floor" electrical rough-in is complete. The only "in the floor" plumbing that is not complete is the drain and water line to the "youth bistro" (that is a change be made only a few weeks ago, the term was coined today). The youth bistro includes sink, with water, refrigerator, microwave, high top tables, high stools, multiple internet computers. Our youth will be losing their hideaway at The Mirror Image, located in the lower level of Old Post Office Square but will have their own new home in the building, whatever they decide to call it.
The masons will likely be starting in early April. We are currently looking to pour the concrete floor sometime in early April. After that point, the schedule shows a lot of simultaneous activity on-site, fire protection, framers, and rough in for electrical, plumbing, fire alarms, security and low voltage systems.
Our Ministry of Construction members will be serving many more on-site workers in April and May.
A word about the two attached pictures: The drive through entrance canopy is now in place. The walls where the white Tyvec is showing will be all red brick with white cut limestone corners and window trim. The Ranch Road end where you see the chip board will be covered in white ephis (fancy word for sutcco) with a large cross on the end. The steeple will be on the peak on the same end of the building. Our 18"x18" cornerstone/time capsule cover will probably be located on the front right corner of the buidling (side with canopy).
Please keep our workers and construction management teams in your prayers as job site activity ramps up. Spring is coming soon!
