Soak it up, this is your last building update for two weeks. I think you will be able to handle it! They finished the first wall, pretty spectacular! They started digging in the meditation garden. I'm not sure what they are digging for but it looks impressive. We got the most wonderful news that we now have all the permits...construction or bust!

Super construction work going on! They started building the first of four walls. I have to admit, I am pretty happy the pink wall is slowly disappearing! I buried my coffee mug under the new office complex, so a little piece of me is with this building. :) I am heading out on Saturday for the mission trip, so you will be without your daily updates for two weeks! You will just have to do a drive by!

P.S. Why aren't they wearing construction hats? The sign clearly says they need to.

They dug a grave today! Okay, it wasn't a grave but it looked like one. I think it was for the plumbing...oh, and the guys let me help dig. That was fun, until I got dirty. They finished the air handler move. If you hang outside in the garden, you can get one wicked tan from the duct work. Now if only they could put a pool out there....

More of the same stuff. They are working on the air handler, which has made the sanctuary roughly the temperature of a dessert on a hot day. That's pretty much it.

I leave for one week, and I come back to a real construction zone! Maybe I should leave more often. Any who, they have dug the footers for the new office complex. (I think that is what they call it, it looks like a giant swimming pool to me!) They brought the Ashley trailer but it doesn't look like anyone can occupy it. OH, and the great big news...they moved the air handler! That was quite a show. I think we are in full swing of constructionness (yes, I know that is not a word). I should probably learn some construction lingo. Enjoy the pictures!

Kevin, my new best friend, started working on the storage closets today. He made it look like a construction zone, so that made me happy. We are still waiting for the construction trailer, which will make it all look real. The drop down plastic isn't tightly secured, so if you are trying to peak, be careful...it will fall on you!! Not that I would know that! :)

I will be away from the church for the next week but as soon as I return, I will update the site.
