July Prayer Calendar
Now that’s a floor!
The floor will be finished after the walls are completed.
and just in case:
Front chancel area- the step is 16″ wide for ease of sitting, standing and ascending.
New stairs to the balcony are in the works.
We still have a bit to go, but the end is in sight.
the First Board
Before
And now.
They pushed up the balcony a couple inches in this spot- you can how the joint came back together.
We thank the Lord that the balcony stayed over all these years and through the flood- it could have been otherwise. But now it’s properly supported and held together to last much longer than any of us.
This is one of the many things that we’ve been able to improve on because of the flood. A blessing, for sure. It also points past to our material losses to God’s good provision and how God is interested in growing us up in Christ. After a while, we are able to stop whining and start giving thanks. Though it might take some time.
Balcony Work
The water barely touched the balcony, but it’s clear that it was in as much need to be repaired as the floor. Here are some of the pictures from today:
a girder beam from the wall to and a main support- steel saddle will be added to keep them from coming a part any further.
most dramatic connection- or lack thereof.
another shot of it- a steel c-channel will be added though out, for the main carrying beams.
here is the angle iron added to keep the balcony attached to the wall and an LVL screwed to a beam to help with strength.

Installing the Floor
The concrete work is done and the floor system is underway!
(The girders are 8×8, joists are 8×3, all Douglas Fir).
Things are going back in to the sancatuary
This morning they are pouring the basement slab, the first of three pours. 
They are working here to slope the floor to the 4’x4′ hole so clean up will be easier if there is another flood. (It is not the entrance to Moria).
