OCTOBER 2024

Recent Activities:

October: The site work neared completion with work on the site grading, septic, parking lot, underground lines and utilities. The electrical sub-feed to the office area was rerouted. Fill was installed and compacted on the foundation pad. Footings were started for the building.

Lower parking will be unavailable for the large balance of the project, and construction barriers will remain in place. Golf-cart transport from the front parking lots to sanctuary front door was established for the morning service to address accessibility needs. PLEASE ADHERE TO ALL BARRIERS & NO ACCESS, OUT OF BOUNDS AREAS.

The plan has been finalized for the approach and timing for cutting of the opening in the wall of the existing sanctuary that will later tie into the new sanctuary. This needs to be done early in project to minimize construction impacts/risk and will start early November.

Near-term Look-ahead:

November - December: Cut opening in sanctuary wall and create temporary enclosure for support wall construction within the existing sanctuary. The enclosure will be 15 feet wide and extend 8 feet into the existing sanctuary, requiring removal and relocation of 7 pews to the overflow room. Space around the enclosure for chairs to replace roughly a third of the removed pew seating is expected. After the 6-8 weeks of expected work, the enclosure will be removed and the pews reinstalled for the duration of the new sanctuary construction project.

November: Complete footings, start block foundation wall and the firewall.

December: Start wood framing for the walls and floors.
