June 2006 - GHOJ - Construction Update
It is exciting to watch the quilting of fifteen tons of rebar in the foundation of the new sanctuary. Twenty plus men have been working from 6:00 AM to 2:30 PM each day to hand tie with pliers and bailing wire those steel bars that will hold us up as we worship and study in the future. It is a maze of steel in-between the forms. Concrete will be poured into those forms during the week of May 31. Soon the steel that will form the sanctuary floor will be put on those forms to stabilize the newly poured foundation. If you want to watch any of this construction, please come inside the church from Vassar Way and look out the nursery windows. You will have a ring-side seat.
During the week of May 31, they will also be pouring the sidewalk along Vassar Way and the parking area along the driveway that enters on the east side. The phone lines have been severed couple of times but we have survived. Please pray that Xcel will get us costs and information for the new electrical transformer! We are still waiting for them to give us that information. It was a shocking experience inside the building when the concrete casings surrounding the basement restroom windows on the north side were jack hammered from the basement foundation!! The meeting date, June 8, has been set for the city planner, Thraemoor, and Atonement to meet and discuss the landscaping problem bordering the north side of the parking lot. A construction meeting happens every two weeks for the contractor and architect to talk about progress. The Building Ministry Team will meet again soon to further discuss the color scheme. Thank you for your understanding not to park in the lot until after 4:00 PM during the week. The contractor greatly appreciates our cooperation.
