Kitchen Renovation Update: November 2007

Filed Under News, Support Ministry by Daniel Magnolia

All is quiet on the weekend, but noise and dust during the week confirm that construction on the new kitchen and dining room is well underway. You can’t see the progress, because the construction area is sealed to keep the dust contained.

Contractors sealed an unused coal chute discovered in the hallway.
Electricians are installing a new electrical panel to bring the electrical system up to current codes and allow for the installation of modern appliances. The next step will be the required inspection.
The contractors judged that the old walls in the kitchen were not adequate to support new cabinets. Metal studs to support new walls are now in place throughout the kitchen and back pantry.
After the electrical inspection drywall will be put on the metal studs.
Workmen removed the dining room ceiling and installed electrical wiring for the new light fixtures.
The “unknown pipes”discovered in a floor trap will be inspected by a plumber; decorative tile will cover the floor trap, which must be kept so that all of the pipes will remain accessible.
Boxes of the new floor tiles are stacked in the lower hallway, ready to be installed after the drywall is in place.

Through November 4, 2007, we received $126,500 in gifts and pledges, including Living the Vision funds. You, too, can help.
