IT Guys

The IT crew (Rich Erickson, Craig Hillegas, Tim Olson, Lee Dodge, and Kerry Glewwe) put in some time on Saturday to run all the wiring necessary for the new computer system in the addition.


This is just a fraction of the wires and cables that are running through the ceiling of the addition.

Craig, Tim, and Lee feed cables through the ceiling. There are going to be a few guys with sore necks and shoulders tomorrow.

The Youth Room is a Pit

Crews had to dig a hole through the floor of the Youth Room to connect to the new water service that will feed the sprinkler system. The pipes go through the Youth Room, out of the church, and down the hill to Gorman Ave.

Doors, Painting, and Other Stuff

All of the doors have been hung in the new addition, although they are still missing doorknobs and windows.

Lots of Riverview volunteers put in some work this week to get the whole addition completely painted. Good work, people. This is the future home of the Youth Directors' office.
