The concrete pad for the dumpster enclosure and the adjacent pad have been poured. We can drive on those pads now. The sidewalks on 123rd St. are finished.
The brickwork is being completed on the Parish Hall and will continue on the kitchen area. The brick on the Parish Hall itself is darker so that the Parish Hall will stand out as a newer part of the church. The new brick on the existing entrances and Narthex will be a lighter color to match our existing building. The masonry on the Sacristy is complete and matches the existing building.
The contractor is installing sheetrock in the kitchen area. They are also framing the sheetrock ceiling at the perimeter of the Narthex. The Narthex floor has been levelled and a finish coat will be applied prior to laying the new carpet.
Blocking for the new plywood walls in the Parish hall has been installed. Temporary windows and doors have been installed so that work can continue during the winter. The contractor is supplying temporary heat in the new building.
Ductwork, plumbing and electrical work are progressing in the Parish Hall and Kitchen.
More next week.

Building Chairman
