Roof decking!

The crew has nearly all the decking on the roof..it is looking like a building now! Captain Jackson flew over and took some more great aerials for us too. We've added a few here, but you can click on this link to view the whole set.

Tower roof and trusses set today!

If you visited the new church site this weekend, you will want to come again soon! The construction crew set the tower roof and trusses today with the help of a large crane! Exciting to watch.

Here are a few photos. You can click here for the complete set.

The tower

Most of the trusses have been delivered and we hope they will be able to put them up this coming Monday! The builders have been busy on the top of the tower..pretty intricate but it's going to add some character to the building.

This is the top of the tower that will put in place by a crane.







It will be attached to the top of this tower.

Exterior Walls Raised!

These pictures were taken from the west(road) side of the building. A crane help set the extremely heavy walls. The smaller section of the South wall measured approsimately 4,600 pounds, so with both sections combined on the South wall, the total weight is probably around 10,000 pounds. It is amazing to see it actually physically built.
