Ministry Center Update #10

The Stage Is SetFraming Nears CompletionElectrical StartsLake Faith Community 1

Hello once again from the Faith Community Church Ministry Center.  It is amazing how quickly one can fill up 7,000 square feet.  The picture in the upper left corner is taken from the main entrance doorway looking toward the sanctuary/stage.  To the right of this picture will be the coffee area and to the left will be the office/kitchen.

The left center picture is also taken from the main entrance and is looking to the left as you enter.  It shows the main wall framing that separates the sanctuary from the classrooms.  The framing is just about complete.  As you can see, the space is gobbled up pretty quick.

The right center picture shows an installed electrical outlet.  “Why is that important?” you ask.  Great question!  It means that the electrical work has begun, which is another milestone in the process.

The picture in the right corner shows the formation of “Lake Faith Community” wrapping around the building.  For the last week they have been averaging a truck load of sand leaving every 15 minutes.  “Where is that sand going?” you ask.  Another great question!  The next time you are driving by the Publix shopping center on CR 210, you will notice a “Bank of America” sign on the lot in front of The Loop restaurant.  You will also notice a bunch of white sand on that lot.  If you are saying to yourself right now “AHA”, then you must be pretty smart.  For those of you who are thinking “HUH?”, well…   Until next week.  PW :))

Ministry Center Update #9

Electricsl ManholeFraming 2Framing 1Nursery Framed

This has been another busy week at the buidling site.  They are doing a lot of work on infrastructure this week.  The water supply line for the fire sprinkler system was completed and passed inspection by the Fire Marshall. The electricians have set the power pole which brings power to the property and are laying the underground lines that will carry power from the pole over to the building.

The Ministry Center is progressing daily.  The fire sprinkler system is just about finished and half of the roof is done. They started framing this week and have the outer wall framed as well as the nursery.  In fact, yesterday they completed the ceiling of the nursery which will eventually be home to the HVAC units.  They will sit directly above the nursery. Well, that’s all for now.  I’ll keep you posted.  PW

Ministry Center Update #8

View From the Stage3 1/2 Sides CompletedMain Entry FramedFrom The Inside Out

Can you believe it? The builders have been busy this week and much has changed since our last update. (If you double click the pictures they will enlarge to ”full-screen” and you will be able to see more detail.) 

Starting at the far left, this picture was taken from the stage area looking out toward the back of the building.  Note the black pipes hanging down from the roof.  This is the sprinkler system that is a part of the fire protection system.

The picture immediately to the right shows 3 1/2 sides completed.  They should have all of the sides sheeted by the end of the week.

The picture to the right of center is taken from the outside and shows the entry way framing complete.

The picture all the way to the right is taken from the inside looking out of the main entrance. 

As you can see it is really beginning to take shape.  I believe the roof will start to go on next week and soon we will have a building with an “intact” exterior.  Say tuned for more updates.  By the way, check out my blog entitled “In My Minds Eye”.  Peace, PW
