The Week Before Christmas

Pastor Tony has been asking when I'll get these pictures up, so here they are.

The front offices are coming along.  Carpet is down and most of the ceiling tile is in.  Office windows are in place.
The game room is all carpeted and ready to go.
The Fellowship Hall was full of stacks of chairs to be used for Sunday morning services.
The elevator has been finished out.
This is the adult classroom hallway.  Just needs a little clean up to be ready for classes.
The basketball goals are up and the walls are carpeted in the gym.
Doors in the youth room are waiting to be installed.
Water fountains are in but not all of the plumbing is finished.
Stairs are carpeted.
The walking track upstairs is ready for people to start doing laps.
A view of the stage.  The gym floor was taped off so the line could be painted the next day.



The sound system was being installed this day too.  The amps and other equipment will be locked up backstage.
This is one of the sub woofers installed under the front of the stage.
The main speaker array over the stage.
Spot lights at the front of the stage.
A close up of one of the rear projection screens.
One of the air vents.  There was discussion as to what color to paint them (some people think they are ugly).  I think they should be painted the same color as the carpet so they will blend in and disappear.  The last picture is the kitchen in the youth room.

Pictures From Last Week

It was dark when I got to the Church, but the parking lot has been paved and the sidewalk by the building put in.
This is just inside the frount door.  All the tile is down in this area.
The elevator is going in.  They already used it to carry things upstairs.
Alot of the rooms have the ceiling tile finished.
The doors are all stained and installed.
Floor tile is finished in the youth room.
The divider is up in the Childrens Church room.
A couple of the men were putting up ceiling tile in the nursery.  That's Ted up top and JohnE below.
The bookcases have been installed in the offices.
They got a great deal on some exercise equipment, so it is sitting on the upper deck.
Windows are in the courts upstairs.  They decided to make the doors smaller also.

Long Delayed Pictures

It's been awhile since I posted, I'll try to do better in the future. Above you can see that the tile in the fellowship hall has been finished.
The main electrical panel in the back room has been buttoned up. A lot of juice will flow trough here.
Many of the doors have been hung. These double doors lead into the youth room. Lynne still says she wants these doors.
The day I was there the AC crew was hooking up the controls to the AC units around the building. This is the control unit in the front utility room.
The baptistry has been framed in. You can see that she "dunker" stands behind and doesn't get into the water with the "dunkee".
And the glass doors have been installed at the front entrance. I'll post more soon.

Thursday, Oct 2

We are working on pulling the wires to all the electric panels in the Church. They all originate in this utility room at the back of the building. The wires we ran Tuesday night are hanging to the left in this picture.
This is the other end of the 315 foot run we pulled Tuesday night.
The electric company came in on Wednesday and set the transformer behind the building.
These are the cables waiting to be installed Thursday night.
We laid the cables out into the hall from outside.
Here is the crew getting the cables ready for the first pull of the evening. We ended up pulling 2 runs each about 220 feet long.
The framing on the stage is coming along. The black boxes are for the rear projection screens.
In this close up you can see the baptistry in the back of the stage.
And finally, the cabinets are going in the kitchen.

Thursday, Sept 25

They have been doing a little tile work at the new Church.  These first two pictures are in one of the frount bathrooms.

The picture above is in the kitchen.

They are building the boxes on the stage for the rear projection screens.  They will also add some walls to the back of the stage.
