JERICHO REVISITED

THE WALL IS DOWN !

This is room 102 without the wall.

You can see the new stairway next to the water fountain and the new closet next to the stairway.

The stairs were beint painted when I took this picture so I didn't go up to get more pics. The painter said "all the walls are wet".

Yes, there is a new breaker panel on the left wall.

There is work being done in the ceiling for air conditioning so when that is finished the ceiling panels will be replaced.

The new restrooms are being painted today as well.

Pastor Gregg is moving into his office and has a desk, chair etc. already.

Pastor Bob is still using tables until his furniture arrives (hopefully this week).

If the furniture arrives this week, then the rest of the office where Terry and Debbie live will move on Saturday.

Construction is Stepping UP

This is the new steps to the auditorium from 102. You can see the new steps and landing in the picture on the left, and the landing into the existing Darby road entrance on the right.
This construction is visible from the Darby road entrance, but the lower part is still behind the "do not enter" enclosure in 102.
A door will be installed in the frame shown in the picture on the right and the space all the way to the right will be filled in.
The temporary wall will come down when the construction is completed.

PASTOR BOB RUSHES INTO NEW OFFICE

Yes, this is Pastor Bob in his new office. He has arrived but the furniture is delayed a little.

We will post another picture when the office is ready for him.

Actually I belive he is using the new office because the heat works there. Apparantly there is a problem with the heat in his old office and since the new HVAC system is not completely installed yet, he doesn't want to be out in the cold or "in in the cold" as the case may be.

The Other Side of the steps

In case you haven't seen behind the wall, this is what the other side of the steps look like.
You can see the door to the rear steps up to the auditorium on the left. The water fountain and the opening to the restrooms is just to the left of that. The space to the right is where I stood to take the picture showing the outside door on Darby road and the steps from it to the auditorium.
This space will contain a landing and steps down to this level.
All of what you see here will be accessible when the work is finished and the area is cleaned up.

THE END IS NEAR!

This is a view of the front room on the first floor of the new offices. The walls are painted, the carpeting is installed, and the tile entryway can be seen at the doorway.

You can see the church building across the street. The outside door of the church behind the permit on the right side of this window is the one from the last post showing the location of the new steps coming from 102. The other door on the left, the dark one, goes into 102 also.

Most of the electrical outlets and switches have been installed and covered. You can see some of them in this view if you look carefully.

Raising dust on the Steps

Some of you might be wondering what is happening behind the wall in 102 that says do not enter. ( Others have ignored the sign, myself included to get this picture).

This is the entry on the Darby road side of the church. You can see light from the door that goes outside and the railing and steps going up to the auditorium.

I'm standing in the old storage room that used to be filled with round tables we use for eating events. There will be a landing in that room at the level of the one on the other side of the hole. Then steps will be added down to the right into room 102 right beside the door to the rear steps and existing restrooms.

A number of you have added to your pledge amounts and some new pledges have been received for an additional $55,000. Thank you for your stewardship.
