The winter weather stopped almost all site activities for two days but the teams were able to get much accomplished the rest of the week! A good chunk of the sanctuary lobby steel has been put up. Once the bigger pieces are finished they'll move the crane down the hill to be able to start the main sanctuary steel. A lot of the interior and exterior framing at the children's wing is now done and detail work like the openings for the changing tables, recessed trash receptacles, fire extinguisher cabinets, box headers, etc is being worked on. Good progress on overhead conduits and boxes for home run circuits for the receptacles and lights is being made and the crew has started mounting wall boxes. More ductwork is up and the plumbing in the walls at the children's wing has been started.

The upper and lower sanctuary slabs are now poured, so that means all major building slab pours are complete! The stepped area of the sanctuary will be poured after the steel is set due to how everything ties together. Metal stud framing at the children's wing is finished and the parapet walls around the roof as well as interior wall framing for this wing will begin shortly. The retaining wall is now at 15 feet and we should have power on the site within the next couple of weeks!

Michael and Josh show us the latest updates to our building and share what's coming up next!

The last of the footings for the sanctuary as well as the upper elevator landing walls have been poured, along with the base for the tower. The lobby slab will be poured next followed by the lower sanctuary slab. Seven out of twenty-one feet of our block retaining wall is also finished! Below grade roughins for electrical, data, and plumbing in the sanctuary are coming along nicely.

Steel erection and roof decking at the children's and admin wings is complete! The concrete company is continuing work on footings, foundation walls and slab prep for the sanctuary. They will start the sanctuary slab pours soon, followed by the steel at the sanctuary lobby. Work is in progress on the block retaining wall and for fine grading the retaining ponds. Metal stud framing at the children's wing will begin in a few weeks!
