The first phase of our building renovation
project involves the replacement of the windows and exterior doors in the
office areas, the Fellowship Hall, and the Preschool classrooms. Thanks be
to God for all the faithful workers and volunteers who are doing all this
fine work for the House of the Lord, and for all the members and friends of
our congregation who have supported this effort through their time, talents,
and treasures !
Check back on this page for photo updates on the progress
of the renovations.
Memorial Day Weekend : After emptying the classrooms and Fellowship Hall,
the siding is removed.
While that was going on, the interior wallboard and moldings were removed.
These photos are from the Fellowship Hall.
By the following weekend, the old windows and framing had been removed,
and new framing installed. To keep the weather out, the window openings in
the plywood were not cut until the windows were ready to install.
From the inside, you can see the areas framed out for the new windows.
The doors have not yet been replaced in these photos.
June 10th : By now, the new windows have been installed on the front of
the Fellowship Hall and Preschool classrooms :
And the new door was installed. The one for the back entrance to the Fellowship
Hall is awaiting installation.
June 17th : A view inside one of the classrooms. The arch windows above
the main double hung windows have now been installed.
And again in the Fellowship Hall.
Next, the insulation can go in....
...and the exterior trim can go up.
Then, the siding goes up outside....
... and the walls inside are prepped for plastering.
The exterior trim is just about done... and some much needed air conditioners
installed to help keep the offices cool during the recent heatwave !
Meanwhile, inside the walls are nearly ready for priming and painting !
