Sunday, October 27...

A Sunday afternoon look at the church.  All the Wirsbo is done, along with the re-bar.  The sanctuary is ready for concrete!

View of the entry and bathrooms.  The wire mesh is down, now waiting on Wirsbo.

View from SE corner of the church.

View from SW Corner of the church.

The manifold  with the sanctuary heating in it.

Low view of the floor. :)

Another view.  

The guys framed in that upper portion on the East side.  That will hold the HVAC stuff.

We're hoping inspection passes on the heating this week.  If it passes, the flooring will be poured on Friday.  Yay, we're just chugging along! 

Saturday, October 26...

Working on sub-fascia.

Cutting holes in the upper walls for ducting for the new HVAC system.

Nailing up that sub-fascia.

For some reason little boys are not afraid of ladders.  They make my knees shiver.

Laying tubing for the radiant heat system.

Building the manifold for the heating system.

I think we are all going to appreciate the heated floors!

A work of art in the plumbing industry.

Overkill on pictures of them laying wirsbo. sorry. :-) (notice the timbers that are up) They look so nice!  I think there is still a few that need to be built and installed.  They had to pause that project for now.

Caught Charlie working this time. ;-)  There probably wasn't fresh coffee for him to sip on. jk

Hard hat area.

The wall between the entry and sanctuary is framed up.

Art's huge mustache. :)

Hard at work.  These guys did a huge amount of work in one day! (weird...Charlie is still working.:-))

Ripping something off the building.

Different angle of the guys working on the roof.

Saturday, October 19...

One of the bathrooms ready for concrete.

Building more timber trusses for the sanctuary ceiling.

Cutting a notch in the truss.  Uck makes that saw he's using look light.  (it's not! :)) 

A cute onlooker.

Sanding down a spot on the truss so it fits perfectly snug when hung on the ceiling.

I'm thinking this job isn't the best one?! :)

Drilling holes for the metal stuff.

I'm thinking those holes have got to be spot on.

Look at that perfectly cut timber.

Some company checking out the church.

One timber hung, a few more waiting to be hung.

It took a few hours of work to perfect those timber trusses.

"Aim dat camera somewhere else," said someone.

Preparing to move and place the timber.

Good thing for contraptions like the one in this picture!  Made hanging those trusses a whole lot easier!

Watching some action outside.

Drilling holes for the metal plates.

Setting a timber truss.  

All set.  Only a few more waiting to be set.

Windows are in!

East side with some pretty windows.

Building timber trusses.

Wire mesh waiting for placement in the sanctuary floor.

Windows are in, and some tyvek put on. It almost looks like spring. :-)

Ripping furring strips.

Underslab insulation for the sanctuary floor.

Furring down the ceiling to match the existing ceiling.

Discussing the work schedule for the week.

Adjusting the metal tie rod and turnbuckle on the timber trusses. 

Cutting those huge timber trusses.  Daylight is nonexistent and the cold weather is creeping in!  The guys are working by poor light and pretty chilly temps.  They are hoping to set a few timber trusses on Saturday.   If they can get that done,  the next step will be prepping for concrete!  Progress keeps happening...
