Renovation Update
Here are a few highlights of what has happened so far:
- Everything has been removed from the sanctuary except the organ (which is draped to protect it from dust).
- The large Mosaic was successfully moved a few feet back on Friday June 7th (just a few feet further west). It turned out to be heavier than expected – over 2,000 lbs!
- We have received all of our necessary construction permits. Our timeline for completion has only changed slightly. We are planning to be back in the sanctuary by the middle of September.
- Our asbestos report found a few hundred square feet of flooring that was contaminated, so we had to bring in an asbestos abatement company to properly treat and remove the problematic tile and carpet areas.
- Our summer transition into the Fellowship Hall for our worship services has worked out almost as well as we had hoped. We had a couple of weeks where we were not satisfied with the sound system performance, but as of this writing, we think most of major sound system issues have been addressed.
UPDATE – JULY 9, 2019
