The county wide RA racer event was held at FBC Maypearl this week. They set the tracks up in the parking lot this year. It would have been a little crowded inside. That's why we're building the new building.
Here are all the trophy winners. The boys had a great time and hopefully learned from the spiritual applications.
I can feel my arteries hardening.
The food was good and prepared by experts.
Someone has to be first in line. That day it was these two.
We sat on the "bleachers" to listen to the presentation.
Mr. Ellis spoke and gave his testimony. A good time was had by everyone. If you're a man you need to be at the next breakfast.
They hung the OSB in the main room. I believe it will be covered in carpet. Since this is also a gym, they wanted something stronger than sheet rock. One of the "big boys" decided to test the strength one night and ran into the wall. They say he bounced off nicely.
They sheet rock is in place above the a/c units as a fire break. If we hadn't done that we would have had to have sprinklers above the suspended ceiling as well as below. Drywall was cheaper than more sprinkler heads.
The electrical wiring is in and ready for drywall. The phone and data lines are also in place.
The frount staircase up to the walking track is half in. Jason was there when I took these picture and said we are now waiting on the sprinkler company to run their pipes and for the a/c company to run their duct work. After that is done we can hang drywall and put up the suspended ceilings.
There has been alot more electrical work since the last time I took pictures. There are many wires running through some of the joists. Jason said they have used over 3 miles of wire so far.
It's a good thing someone is writing down where all these wires go!
Here is MrB helping pull one of the wires into place.
There was sheet rock stacked all around the building. Jason said they should start hanging it on Monday.
Most of the walls have been sprayed with the foam insulation. There was still a little left to do on the kitchen end of the building.
The frount bathrooms were plumbed in.
This door was leaning up at the entrance to the restrooms. Lynne wants it for our house!
A/C ducts are ready and waiting to be installed.
I downloaded this picture full sized. If you double click on it you can see all the details and get a better picture of where everything is.
If the load you're trying to get out of the back of the pick-up is more than your forklift can lift, it may require a little redneck ingenuity.
Several of the exterior doors were installed but chained shut.
The electrical work has begun. This is one of the switch boxes in one of the adult classrooms.
The brick and rock on the exterior of the building looks very nice.
We had our Sunday morning Church service at the new building this morning. They finished the platform for the Praise Team to use. They floor was cleaned up so well you could have eaten off it (You could have, not me).
People started arriving and the room filled up fast. There was a good crowd this morning.
This is looking from the lobby area into the main auditotium. I love the big windows.
This view is from beside the fellowship hall looking back toward the frount door.
There were alot of youth there.
The Praise Team started off the service. After a few sound system problems were worked out the rest of the worship time went very well.
Pastor Tony preached and we had a very good service.
After the service everyone ate their picnic lunches and hung out for awhile. A couple of guys had grills set up in the parking lot. They even set up the bounce houses inside the building. We love all the room!
Wednesday night the RA group met out at the new Church building and had a special guest. They watched some hockey highlights before he spoke.
Al Secord ,a retired NHL hockey player, was there to talk to the boys. He works at American Airlines now with Mr. Morrison. He gave a very good talk to the boys. The dads there enjoyed it too.
He then showed the boys how to shoot a hockey puck. Each of the kids got a shot at the goal.
