Boiler Room activity


This past Monday the Horst team started the day early and finished the day tired and dirty!

The new gas fired boilers were delivered a few weeks ago. Before they can be installed the old, oil fired burners needed to be removed. No small task, the two burners were the size of a locomotive and needed to be pulled out of the boiler room with a crane truck!

A new cement floor will be poured next week. A block room will be constructed to house the new boilers. The stairs exiting to the parking lot will be replaced and a new, interior stairway, will be created using the closet space in the "Sunbeam" room.

As the project continues and God uses us to raise the funds, the stairway outside the library will be removed, opening the hallway on the first and second level.

As Dave wrote a few days ago, we are on schedule to be able to enjoy air conditioning in every room in the church this summer, [except the kitchen. Like Hillary said... "if you can't take the heat... get out of the kitchen."]

Thanks for your part in this incredible project!

ITS GONNA BE A COOL SUMMER


This is part of the new air conditioning being installed at the church. Yes it's bigger than the one you have at home, but the church building is also bigger as well. I believe that the heat gets turned off at the end of the month so the old boilers can be replaced. If you have been to church lately and are observant you will have noticed that the pile of air conditioning parts in room 103 has been slowly getting smaller. However if you happened to look up you should have seen where a lot of the parts went.

If you haven't already agreed to being part of the one percent solution, please consider doing so. It would be soo nice to have an accessible building and the elevator is in the Phase II list. One percent over a two year period is only $104 per month. You can even get your name on the legacy wall if you choose to do that.

NEW OFFICE IS UP AND RUNNING

I went on vacation down south where it is warm and came back to a lot of changes here at the Chapel. I will put some additional pictures here in the next few days.
This is what you see when you enter the new office facility at lunch time (notice the lack of staff in the picture)! The office is spacious, the furniture is new, and the staff seems to be enjoying this new facility. The door in the back is Pastor Bob's office. The other two pastors live in the upstairs which also contains a conference room.
I had titled this picture "Terry's new digs" but the title doesn't show on the blog.
