Week 39 - Race to the Finish Line

We're in week 39 of the construction and remodeling of the Fellowship.  Work is going very fast.

NB: Our first service in the new sanctuary will be in January... we hope!

Have you ever wondered how many hours are invested in remodeling and construction our building?

• Jacob Perkins, a Milo Construction employee, has spent 1,097 hours since the beginning of the project.  This week he was in charge of cleanup and trash removal.
• KC Drywall has drywalled the lobby area and the south wing.  They have taped and mudded the west wing:  352 hours so far.
• Major Mechanical has been building mechanical ducting for heat pumps and ERVs (Energy Recovery Ventilator).  They have also insulated all of the mechanical ducting:  1,638 hours.
• Mountain Insulation has insulated the lobby area and kitchen walls and blew in the sanctuary ceiling:  505 hours.
• Mountain States Framing:  Finished tongue and groove on clerestory windows in the sanctuary and started on the siding outside of the sanctuary:  3,450 hours.

Total number of hours for all contractors:  14,995.25.

Week 38: Remember Me

NB:  We hope to have our first service in the new sanctuary at the Fellowship on Sunday, January 19th.  Stay Tuned.

38th Weekly Progress

1. Hanging drywall in School of Spirit wing& starting to hang hard ceiling.
2. Installing exit/return air ducts to heat pump in sanctuary.
3. Finished insulating ceiling of Fellowship hall.  
4. Protecting sprinkler heads and beams in sanctuary prior to spraying insulation.
5. Working in Fellowship Hall installing switches for overhead lights.  

NB2:  The building is "sealed".  That means that the roof is finished, the windows are in place, the doorways are either sealed with a door or a piece of plywood.  The contractor has several industrial size heaters running.  Therefore, sub-contractors can work inside the building and are not affected by the cold weather.
