A Tuesday Night

We stopped by Tuesday night to see how construction was going. As soon as you walk in the front door the offices are on the left. It looks like most of the walls are up in that area.
This is the view back toward the offices from across the building.
You can see the men working off in the distance on the nursery area. They were putting up the ceiling joists in that corner.
It's kinda dark but I didn't want to blind anyone with a flash while they were lifting the beams into place.
Above is the entrance into the youth room. There is a long scripture written there.
The fellowship hall area was full of boxes containing HVAC equipment. There were alot of boxes.

Saturday Work Day

After lunch on Saturday, the wife and I decided to run some errands and go take some pictures at the Church. The first thing I noticed when we drove up was that the bricks had been delivered. I believe there will also be some rock of the exterior.I was told to take a picture of the door, so here is a picture of the door. It keeps the site secure at night I guess.
This is really cool. There are Bible verses written on the studs through out the building. Just one of the steps in committing this building to serve God's purposes and expanding His kingdom.
The crew was at work on the framing when we arrived. Here two of the guys are on a lift to help put up the ceiling joists.
Another couple of guys were cutting wood to length to be nailed up later.
The other framers were working at the other end of the building. I believe these are the 4th-6th grade classrooms.
This last picture is in the youth room. You can see that the spray foam has been sprayed into the walls already. There is a 2x6 wall plus a 2x4 wall filled with foam. It should be well insulated, I've been very happy with the foam Jason sprayed in our attic.

Monday, Jan 14

I kept checking the Church web site for construction update pictures and never saw any. So I decided to post my own.
The building is all closed in and all of the windows are in. The outside will be covered with rock and brick eventually.
The new steeple is on top of the drop off area roof. I think it would have looked way to small on the main roof.
The framing behind the back hallway appears to be finished. This corner is the Youth area.
This picture was taken standing outside the Youth room looking down the hallway toward the Adult classrooms.
This is a view of the spray foam insulation that covers the underside of the roof and the end walls.
I just thought the sunlight coming through the window was pretty.
