Progress Continues

General Photo Update

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.

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.

Another productive weekend. Thanks to Guy Martin, Rick Vaughan, Seth McGoskey, and mister dependable Rich Dunbar.

Inside View

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.

Blessed Builder's Work Weekend # TWO

The walls of our new worship Center continue to go up. Thanks to those who came out to help.
Every time we show up to do some work, no matter how small the job, we save God's money.
Thanks to Rich Dunbar, Gene Henson, Mark Tompkin, Nathan Epling, Steve Scott, and Dan & Savanah Beach

Expansion Team Update

Just a few more days of good weather and our building will be completely under roof. The outside walls are being built and everything is moving along very well. Beginning this Saturday (February 27th) we will be doing our part. We have a few projects that will help speed up the completion of the building and save on labor costs. Please join us Saturday morning at 9:00am to build some walls.

Expansion Team Update

Finally, the roof is going on! The weather has been slowing things down, but we are now once again moving forward. This coming week we will see continued work on the roof and the open sides of the building will be closed in. We need 10 or 11 good weather days to finish the roof and then we'll get busy on the interior. Pray for dry weather!
