cold this week, still progress is
being made on the foundation;
which was discovered to be on
solid rock, as it should be!

March 4, 2008. Pastor leads a noon
service that blesses the upcoming
event of pouring the slab. A Bible, an
LBW and a Disciple 1 book are buried
into the concrete along with a list of
our current membership.

April 6, 2008. With the second floor beams
in place, there is a LOT of very difficult work
being done by skilled people. The rivets
are the size of a big fist. The roof and
second floor is being done.

April 8, 2008. I hope everybody
realizes that Dick O'Brien is our
lawn service. If you haven't already,
please thank Dick the next time you
see him.
The crew is busy constructing the
sub-flooring of the second floor.
Soon they will start on the roof!

April 18, 2008. Workers have been doing
their high-wire show this week as they add
the roof to the building. Also notice that the
second floor has been added. First it was a
brace, then tin flooring, then a layer of
rebar, finally concrete.

April 23, 2008. This is a really solid
building. While it does put together
like a big erector set, each of the rivets
has to be placed correctly and
attached to the framing cross beams.
