Day 86

June Glewwe stains some of the woodwork that was removed and then replaced.

Kerry Kern enjoys the afternoon sun while installing sheetrock in the new stairwell.

Some of the machinery and equipment for the new lift is in the process of being installed.

Working on a Wednesday

Workers continue to tear out the exterior wall of the pastor's office.

And now the wall has been completely removed.

Mike Johnson continues his work of framing the new link that will connect the addition to the existing building.

Bill Heinemann installs ventilation chutes that will allow cool air to circulate beneath the roof of the new addition. During the winter, this will help prevent snow from melting and re-freezing, keeping ice dams to a minimum.

This is the door that leads from the Fellowship Hall and used to lead down a flight of steps on the western exterior of the existing building. Now it's actually an inside door, located in the stairwell of the new addition, although it doesn't go anywhere!

Day 57

Here you can see the work that was done yesterday to remove the windows and part of the wall from the pastor's study...

The framing for the new link continues...

The stairs are coming along nicely...

The southern side of the addition on day 57...

Insulation for the new addition arrives and is ready to be installed...

Stairs

The stairwell between the existing building and the new addition begin to take shape.

And framing begins on the new link.

Construction: Day 32

Mike Johnson climbs a ladder to work on the link between the existing building and the addition. This small area will be the location of the stairway between the two buildings.

The first floor of the addition is ready to receive the outer shell.
