Update Monday 11-17-08

We are getting closer to completion of the gym.  

This is looking towards the entrance of the gym.  Completed tile and finished paint.

The kitchen mostly finished.

Two classrooms with finished paint and carpet.

Looking from the entrance into the foyer.

Wide shot of the Foyer.

We had an inspection on Monday for our Certificate of Occupancy.  It failed and there is a small list of things to fix and a few slight changes to make.  We anticipate these being completed quickly and the Certificated given.  Next week the gym floor will be completed and we anticipate the gym being completed by Thanksgiving!

Here are a couple of video updates.  They show the foyer with freshly painted walls and doors hung.  The kitchen with cabinets in place and gym bathroom with fixtures.  Everything is progressing and we anticipate the first week of December the gym being complete.  

Many thanks to Pastor Parrish and Pastor Jerry for their hard work in managing construction, meeting with contractors, electricians, plumbers, painters etc.  Even unloading trucks and making runs to purchase and pick up appliances!

The gym with the lights on.


This is one of the bathrooms inside the gym.



The next few steps taking place will be tile in the kitchen, bathrooms and foyer. The cabinets will be hung in the kitchen. Painting will be finished up with carpet in the classrooms. The gym floor is last to be installed after everything else is finished.

Update Thursday 10-9-08

Its been a while since the last update, we have been waiting for Duke Power to finish up with the electricity. Yesterday they finished and the power is on at the gym.


Since the lights are on the contractors have the green light to finish up on the inside of the gym. Our target date is Thanksgiving.

Note: Tours are available at 5:30pm on Sundays. See Pastor or Jerry.

The gym with the church in the front.

A look down the sidewalk.

The AC unit waiting to be hooked up.

This shows the lights already run with the heating and cooling duct work.

This week the power should be run and electricity turned on. The painters will return and put the second coat of paint on the walls.

Update Monday September 22, 2008

Here is the finished and striped parking lot on the right side of the gym.

This picture is looking from the back of the gym to the front. The two outer doors are bathrooms and the middle one goes to the front where the kitchen, storage room and classrooms are.

This is looking towards the rear of the building.

As soon as the electrical lines are run painting can continue. With lights being accessible.

Update Sunday 9-14-08

Here is the finished concrete around the front of the building. Paving should be completed on Monday.

This is a close up to show the detail of the building. It is brick a quarter of the way up and Effice painted a tan color the rest of the way. Each window has a decorative feature above it.
Here is a video showing the inside. Some parts may be to dark. It was to dark to show the gym portion of the building that is straight back after going through the front door.

There is no sound.

As you walk through the front door there is a large foyer with four classrooms, two on each side. Then next is a storage room on one side and a kitchen on the other side. Inside the gym is access to the bathrooms (not pictured).

On Monday...

The paving crew is here and have begun paving. They cut 10 inches deep to get grade then put 8 inches of stone down and wet it and packed it until it was like concrete now they put 2 inches of pavement on top of that. We won't drive on it this week but by the next Sunday 28th we can begin to use it.

The finishers are sanding the sheet rock and painters are to return this week and prime the gym.

Heat and air duct is going up in the gym and 3 of the 4 units have been set. The two 5 ton heat pumps that run the front rooms and restrooms etc. are being hooked up today they are 5 ton Trane heat pumps. The big rear units that run the gym will be 15 ton gas packs.
