Safe Shelter Over Head...

The South side of the West side of the building (did you get that?) now has a roof! It is my suspicion that the North side of that section will be covered by the days end! As we drove by, Bethanie (8) saw a man on the top peak and said, "That man isn't being safe!". She was pretty worried that he would fall off. He was dangling over the edge.

Moving right along...

The progress is moving quickly on the church lot! Today, we sat and watched the West wall being lifted up and placed in position! Rafters are also beginning to come in sight! I will post pictures of that tomorrow. Pretty soon, we wont be able to monitor the progress of the building because it will be all interior work! None the less, it is all progressing on schedule.

BRANCH PRESIDENCY UPDATE:
(posted in the Sacrament Meeting Program on August 22nd, 2010)

The following tasks have been completed: site preparation, foundation, below the floor plumbing, under floor fill, concrete floor, and backfill. This week the contractor poured the concrete floor and began installing wall framing. Construction is progressing on schedule. Now that the work is above ground it is easier to see progress and it seems to go faster. (Reminder that no one is allowed on the construction site without invitation from the general contractor).

Chapel...

The walls for the chapel are up! The walls for the rest of it are up too! Pretty soon, the roof will go on! It really is beginning to look like an LDS Meetinghouse! At first, with just the foundation and flooring poured, it looked really small! But as the walls go up, and you can see inside the skeleton of the building, you can tell where things will be, like class rooms, bathrooms and offices!

We Have Walls!!!

I am not certain, but I think this is the Chapel with walls. YAY!

How Firm A Foundation!

At the North end of the lot, you can see the foundation taking place! It is so exciting to see progress on our building. The dirt work tends to take a long time, but once they start with the physical parts of the building, it seems like it grows over night!
