As I mentioned last Sunday, the city has finally issued a building permit which has allowed our contractor to begin working. They have been busy all week. They have removed all the antiquated electrical systems and begun to replace them with state of the art components. (This was the big hold-up with the permit. All the electrical systems had to be brought up to the current building code.) The altar, ambo and baptismal font have been removed along with the old wooden sanctuary floor and the floors are being prepared for tiling.
It’s all very exciting and things are moving very quickly. I know that people are excited, but please remember that the church is an active construction site, so please do not wander in for a look. It is dangerous and you will only slow the progress.
We are still aiming to be back in by Christmas, even if everything isn’t totally complete, but we will have better idea of our completion date next week. Now we actually have something to show you, we will also be posting pictures. Also, by next week we will have some renderings of the project posted in the school for everybody to see.
As always, thank you for your patience and your support.
Huzzah! No more carpet, bane of custodians and choir alike.
