In this image you can see the first of the basketball backboard supports being installed.

The light controller has been programmed so the lights will automatically turn off at specified times to save energy and meet regulations for energy savings.

The locker rooms are ready for lockers.

This image isn’t the best quality (it’s hard to take pictures in the dark without a tripod), but it shows what it would look like outside with out the exterior lights on.

In this image you can see that the ceiling grids have been installed in the main entrance area.

This image shows more ceiling grids, and boxes and boxes of ceiling tiles ready to be installed.
the building

The wood floor has been delivered. The final floor is in the front, and the background shows the layers of plywood that go down first.

Here is a closer view of the strips that will make up the floor. You are actually seeing the bottom of the strips.

This is a view of the Tarrazo floor in the entry way. It is a little dusty, and has not been polished or waxed yet, but you can start to see the final product.

This image shows the painting completed in the main area of the Saint Paul Activities and Christian Enrichment Center as it was named by the Voters. You can also see (1) of the (4) clocks and some of the fire alarm equipment that has been installed. You can also see the dark green stripe that runs around the inside of the building.

This image shows the metal stripes that divide the sections of tarrazo flooring that will soon be installed.
Pictures from this weekends events will be posted soon, (I have to sort through the 100 or so that I took) but until then here are a few to keep you up to date.

This door has been painted to match the rest of the exterior doors on the building.

If you have not seen the front enterance this is what it looks like now.

The block work in the locker room area is nearly complete.

The painting is progressing along nicely. Some of you may notice the slighly different color on the wall. This is because the lower section does not have the final coat yet, only the block filler. You may also notice that the new lights have been uncovered and in this picture only 3/5ths are on, which still is plenty of light.
The Faith for the Journey BRIDGE team invites you to join us after all three services this weekend (June 6th and 7th) for a special one time event. Members of the congregation are invited to come to the Activities Center construction site, check out the progress, and write a bible verse of your choice on the floor. There will be an ice-cream social after the 7:30pm Saturday service, and cookies and brownies after both Sunday services.
We hope to see you there.

I know it is a little blury, but this shows the start of the painting.

The walls in the bathrooms are nearly complete.

The main entrance sidewalk is ready to be poured.

This wall is going to seperate the bathrooms from the locker rooms.

Here is another view of the same wall, along with some additional ductwork, and piping.

Another section of sidewalk almost ready to be poured.

This is a picture of the new roll around tables with giant wheels so they won’t scratch the new floor.
Actually this is one of the “drawing carts”. Looking at the prints, it looks like it was probably the electricians.

The fresh air intake louver has been installed.

Drywall continues to go up, as well as pipe insulation, and ductwork.

More sidewalk has been installed.

This one is for Mr. Kaiser.

Sidewalk formed and ready to be poured.

Brick continuing to be installed on the “back” of the project.

Another door is installed.
