Went by the site Friday. The seats are all in the sanctuary now. Carpet is being installed in the aisles and common areas of the sanctuary. The stage is progressing. And palm trees have been installed in one of the patio areas.

The big story this week is that they are installing the seats in the new sanctuary. They are a lovely blue green-purple color with a leaf pattern. The arm rests come up to allow room for larger people like me (I was concerned about that!). Very nice, and very excited to see them in!

Quite a journey from beginning to end. In the next few weeks I will spotlight a few progression shots like these. Won't be long now!!

On my trip to the site Sunday, I noted: concrete has been poured for the rear walkways between the buildings; carpeting has been installed in the Kidstown auditorium and in some of the classrooms; drywall is being installed in the Cafe'; bolts have been installed in the floor of the sanctuary to secure the seating; bars have been erected in the ceiling of the sanctuary to hold the stage lighting; and the bricked planters have been erected at the entrance to the sanctuary building.

Made a quick run by the site this morning. The place was covered in workers and supervisors. A lot of action. Things I saw included planting of trees, installation of sod, concrete pouring and grading. They are building what looks like two raised flower/planting beds in front of the sanctuary (like we used to have in front of the building years ago. A gentleman was erecting a sign behind the multi-purpose building (what I have been calling the Youth/Genesis bldg). They are installing what looks to be acoustical insulation to the back walls of the sanctuary. Drywall is being installed for a ceiling in the hallways of the sanctuary building. Oh Me Oh My!!

I was off today so I took a rare weekday look at the progress at the site. Changes everywhere, including: the road leading into the site is now all paved. No more white chalk all over the car!!. Also concrete is being put in around the buildings; trees and bushes are being installed; two garage doors have been put in in the Youth/Genesis bldg leading to the patio; sanctuary walls have been painted and the concrete floor has been tinted and polished; wood flooring has been installed on the stage; glass has been installed in the camera booth; and in the office spaces they are painting and installing book shelves and cabinetry. I also shot a panoramic video inside the sanctuary. Enjoy!
