Construction for Week of 8-23-10 and 8-30-10

Sod was laid in the islands around the new parking area to the west of the sanctuary. The irrigation system has been installed and trees will be planted around the parking area next month. Interior work in the town square is taking place, including mechanical and electrical work in the ceilings and walls.

The two new lower level classrooms below the town square are completely framed and ready for finishes over the next few weeks.

A folding partition (see the white ceiling track below) will run across the room allowing the space to be used for two classrooms or one large meeting space.

The steps to the courtyard are poured. Handrails will be installed and the original brick pavers in the courtyard will be re-laid to fit the new stairs. Cleanup and top soil will make the courtyard ready for final plantings.

The roofing shingles for the main entrance canopy were installed this week. The new entry stairs will be completed once all the "heavy" materials are staged inside the town square. Until then the main entry continues to serve as our main loading dock.

Work started this week on the new gymnasium floor. The first step was to remove the old 1970 tile and adhesive, bringing the floor back to bare concrete. From here the new floor can be poured and lined. The result will be a more flexible surface that serves multiple activities, from coffee hour to worship to basketball.

Renovations to the music wing continue. The existing custom robe cabinets were re-installed in the new music practice room. New insulation has been placed in the ceiling and the ceiling grid has been installed. Tile and bathroom fixtures in the two new bathrooms will be installed shortly.
