The dark brick is complete on the Parish hall and will be cleaned when the weather is warmer. The lighter red brick for the kitchen and narthex has been ordered and will be installed as weather permits.
The windows and doors have been measured and ordered and should be installed sometime in February. The coiling fire door that separates the parish hall and kitchen from the narthex has been installed. This door is required by fire code to separate the parish hall from the narthex in case of fire. The grease hood over the ovens, stove, and griddle has been installed and has been connected to the grease trap. The hood and grease trap are required by the city for our kitchen.
The metal studs and sheathing on the exterior narthex walls should be finished next week.
When the temp improves, the sidewalks and curbs in front of the parish hall will be installed.
We have retained the services of an Audio/Visual consultant to design the Visual & Sound systems for the parish hall. We will have large ceiling mounted projection screens in the two larger sections of the parish hall. This will make our meetings more enjoyable.
Finish grading will be done in the spring and trees and grass will be planted as weather allows.
