Siding and Stone samples

Jake & Donna have collected a number of sampels of siding and stone for our consideration. 

Stone

siding which looks like stone

siding

stone - same type of material as on the inside

stone - same type of material as on the inside

stone - comes individually so it would have mortar lines

stone - it comes in sections like this

stone - with individual stones, so it would have mortar lines

Please take a look at these and come prepared to talk about this on Sunday.  Financial details will be presented at the congregational meeting.

Renovation Project - Outside Material Information

On Sunday, October 17 after the church service, we had a congregational meeting where its was decided that information and pictures of the possible choices for outdoor materials regarding the renovation would be posted here.

Then we will have another congregational meeting on October 31 to discuss and decide on these options.



Ready for new siding/brick


Option 1 - Reside the church to match what we had before.
    Here are pictures of the siding that we have on other areas of the church.



Foyer peak area



Ditto










Foyer entrance - both door areas



Above the front entrance










Back foyer area



west sanctuary windows










east sanctuary windows



Here is a "rough look" with the same siding that we had:

Pros: Least expensive, match other sided areas
Cons: "Ugly"

Option # 2 - Stone

medium look





faraway look

Please note, that further options will be posted here, once I receive them from the renovation committee.

Renovation Project - Day 10 Report

Hi there:


Here is our update.

The window is in!  The wiring for sound was finished at 6:30 am this morning.   Thanks Dave & Jake.

The floor for the stage is almost complete.

The cement board is being fastened to the framing at the front of the church and there is is lots of glue smell. 

The carpet is on order and expected soon. 

The painting process is being worked on.

Details for the congregational meeting on Sunday after the worship service need to be finalized. 

Members of Iglesia la Buena Semilla are very excited and are checking everything out before Bible Study this evening.

The cruise was great.

Pictures have been taken and will be uploaded in the morning.

Renovation Project - Day 5 Report

Well, it's FRIDAY!

Unbelievable all that has changed in the sanctuary this week.

It's 1:40 and I'm about to leave for a cruise!

The work crew left before noon today.

The holes are cut for the windows but not through to the outside.

That will happen on Tuesday.

Dave Brown is still puttering away.

Jake Fehr and Dave Koop and ? will work at running some  audio wire tomorrow morning (Saturday).

The building committee has been making lots of detailed decisions this week.

Please pray for our church as we try to keep up with all the changes, as we deal with the impact of worshiping in a different space on Sunday and as we work together to finish this project.

Jake Fehr has been here a great deal.

Donna has stopped by often.

Charlotte took these pictures at 11 something.

Bill Fehr dropped off the big mighty machine we are borrowing from UniFab to access the windows from the outside.

 

You know, it's fun to see how many of us are stopping in to take a peak at what is happening.

The workers appreciate the snacks that have been dropped by for them.

Wishing all of you a blessed and very Happy Thanksgiving.
