We’ve now got the bulk of the footings poured and some rebar in for the walls. The plumbing and roof drains have also been put in that will end up underneath the concrete slab floor. Also filled with concrete are the pads that will eventually support the columns and walls for the second floor.
We’re so thankful for the progress we’ve been seeing over the last weeks.
The “real” construction has started. We’ve got ourselves an excavated basement and the footings are starting to get framed. Things will be changing fast now.
It sure looks like a construction site now. The wonderful orange security fencing has been installed.
All the cedar siding has now been removed as well.
Lastly, here’s a shot of the basement entrance roof being unattached.
It’s been encouraging to have an active construction site. The excavation will begin shortly.
Today at the church there were some trees removed, and the shed was relocated. This was done to prepare the site for the upcoming excavation. The last of the lumber was also delivered today.
Next up for the site will be setting up the security fencing. Once that nice orange fence is up the real work will begin.
We’ve had some work completed at the church while we wait to excavate. The natural gas connection has been removed and capped. Once we have a new wall to attach it to, we’ll turn the gas back on.
Also, there was more lumber delivered to the site. The last of the lumber should arrive in the next few days.
Tomorrow we expect to remove a few dead trees, move the tool shed, and remove some underground wiring in preparation for excavation.
Stay tuned.
