Work in Progress: Our New Sanctuary (Page 3)

The second coat of stucco has been applied to all prepared exterior surfaces. The third coat will be applied at the end of this week assuming the previous coat has dried sufficiently. The windows and doors are scheduled for installation after the final coat of stucco has completely dried. Interior work continues with drywall and electrical and audio/visual installation nearing completion. The builder still believes that the project is on time. Photo: Rev.

The work continues on the new sanctuary. At last week’s construction meeting, we were joined by the architect who was pleased at the progress of the project. They did make a few suggestions that were minor but will make a difference in the finished space overall. The new audio booth has been roughed in and the music sub-committee for sanctuary construction has been consulted to weigh in on the details. The rain forecast for this week has delayed the first…

The work continues at a rapid clip. The interior ceiling of the sanctuary has been painted black before the suspended ceiling is installed and the three operable skylights have been placed and tested. Drywall continues to be installed on the walls and part of the ceiling. The creation of the raised platform for the pulpit and choir areas has begun. The substructure will be eventually covered in oak. Preparations for the application of stucco on the exterior walls continues and…

The work continues at the construction site with many activities taking place at once. The new roofing system is mostly in place on the main roof and now the canopy roof is being treated with the same roofing treatment that should provide many years of carefree service. Other work includes insulating the interior walls and ceiling. Work on the exterior in preparation for stucco is almost done which means the stucco could be applied in the next few weeks.

The work continues at the construction site at a rapid pace. The new roofing system is largely in place and the exterior walls are mostly wrapped with black waterproof building paper in anticipation of being covered with stucco. Other work includes completing the framing of the interior walls. Want to catch the construction action in real time? Check out the Live Sanctuary Cam!

Work continues on the sheathing of the entire exterior with plywood including the roof. Roofing has begun to take shape. According to the contractor we are still on schedule and hope to have the structure weathertight before the rainy season begins. The sheet of plywood with heartfelt messages from the congregation was returned to the builder to be used on the interior walls. A big shout out to Steve Morihiro for producing the time lapse videos that document the construction…
