Tuesday Update

Framing continues

Plumbing work picks back up

Duct work continues to go on, in, up and down.

Also, the electrical contractor has been doing some preliminary work as too has the sprinkler system contractor. We're ordering the plumbing fixtures and baptistry. And the ceiling design is underway. Busy, busy, busy.

Blessed Builders Work Weekend # Five

Okay, this isn't really how it looks. It doesn't take three elders to make sure a church member does it right.

See, Rick & Mark are hard at it.

Perry Sergent NAILED IT again and again.

Guy gives Brad a hand.

Mark makes a percise cut.

More Signs

One of our construction workers found this Angel on one of our 2 X 6 studs. The halo was added.

This afternoon a second cross appeared on site. Go God!

Tuesday Update


Tuesday was mostly about running duct work. Dodrill Heating & Cooling has been contracted to install our climate control system. We will end up with a system that includes a radiant heat system, a 20 ton air conditioning system that was donated to Gateway by the late Nat Wilkenson, and four heat pumps scattered throughout the building.

Blessed Builders Work Weekend # Four


Tony relocates the eye in the sky web camera

Guy measures twice drills once... and got it right every time.

Rick can drill too... The oldest elders challenge the youngsters to chip in.

Brad Spurlock joins the work party and anchors some walls.

Rich & Dan were camera shy but put in another day's work. Rich will be on vacation next week, so we need a few people to fill his shoes.... them are big shoes to fill.

This week Dodrill Heating & Cooling will begin installing the HVAC equipment.

Expansion Team Update


Just one more section to go and the entire roof will be in place. This bird's eye view shows the progress made on the stage area. Wednesday morning a planning meeting will take place between our Project Manager, Dodrill Heating and Cooling, Creative Audio, and Progressive Electrical. These subcontractors, along with Plum-Rite will begin their phases within the next 4 to 6 weeks. By the end of the month we should have crews from all of these subs working like bees all under the same roof at the same time. Once the weather breaks we'll also see the brick layer busy on the outside too.
