FBC Warrensburg Construction Update

August 19th

tylergraham — Thu, 19 Aug 2010 19:33:55 +0000

Wow! It’s almost been a month since a last update. The building has been turned over to us and Pearce is no longer on site. They will still check in occasionally to coordinate some final installations like air ducts and lighting. We passed all our fire codes to begin working in the building now so we’ve been bringing in volunteers during the week and on the weekends. Currently we are hanging a lot of drywall. Our own volunteers are also finishing some of the indoor wall framing. If you are interested in helping with any skill or aspect of the project, feel free to call the church office at 660-747-9186 or the best way would be to contact the volunteer coordinator directly, Harold Knight. His email address is hknight [at] fbcwburg [dot] org. The webcam has been acting up and has currently been out of service. There isn’t much changing that it can see anyway so it’s not a top priority. I may see about moving it indoors though.

This weekend several buildings who attend the church showed up Saturday and worked on framing out a few of the walls on the inside. One of them was in the main foyer area. It drops down from the ceiling of the high part to the level of the drop ceiling in the low part. The other part that was worked on was down at the foyer for the kids zone area. It will be an all hard ceiling above that area. This previous week another church member hung drywall down the entire west side of the hall way. Sure makes things look like they are coming together. Pearce and other contractors are still working on the grounds. They have done a great job of forming a curbing system all the way from Hale Lake road up to the parking lots. They have removed the jagged section between the lower lot and upper lot and will redo that, this is why that upper lot is closed for the time being. They are currently waiting on a company to come in a pour the concrete for the fire lane, then I think they/we will start on some landscaping.

The roof of the canopy is going on, outdoor lighting and other fixtures are being installed, and gutters / downspouts are being installed. These are the last few steps before we gain the building!

Doors and Webcam

Doors are going in! The majority of all the windows are in, and it’s looking good. They have already moved our current doors into the area which will be knocked all the way out, but they won’t pull those out until all the new foyer doors are installed. They also got a lot of the top of the drive through area finished, and are working on the beams for the hangover now. The glass people also moved and added another set of double doors entering the children’s building. Things are moving right along, and it’s looking good. Enjoy the pictures.

*If you have been checking the webcam lately, you may have noticed it wasn’t updating recently. I do believe the camera for the web cam finally bit the dust. I’m not sure how many exposures it had but it had to be in the area of 68,000 pictures. That’s much more than I thought it would go. I did have a backup, and installed it this weekend, hopefully it will work from here on out.

June

tylergraham — Wed, 02 Jun 2010 01:06:44 +0000

It is now June and the majority of contracted construction is beginning to see its end. The people working on this project have done an out standing job. Some things going on recently are the windows, electrical, canopy, exterior aesthetic touches, and today, more parking lot destruction. The majority of the window frames have been installed and the glass is being installed in them this week. The doors are also supposed to arrive some time later this week. The brick layers have done a great job on the entrance and the exterior of the building along with framing the new doors to the coffee shop area. The fire alarm is still being installed, and should be completed soon. There is scaffolding all up the entrance area with guys working on the canopy area. It also looks like a lot of the flashing has been installed on the roof, with just a little more to go. Today they rearranged the construction trailer and connex to allow the track loader to come in and clean up all the asphalt in preparation of the drop-off / fire lane. Big changes are happing. Once the contractors are finished, Pearce will be turning the building over to us. This is where we need you! If you have any skill set or willing to be taught one, we want you! If you have any interest in working on the building to help it complete please email the church facilities director Harold Knight at hknight[at]fbcwburg[dot]org, or call him at the church office, 660-747-9186. We look forward to hearing from you and to see this project complete!

Well today they got power fed into the new disconnect for the expansion. This is a good thing, it means things are moving right along. They got a lot of the walls insulated. Masons are still laying brick. Electricians are starting to pull wire. Roofers are still installing flashing on the roof to help water proof the seams. The glass people are installing windows, doors should be in sometime soon. And someone is installing the fire curtain, a giant fire proof wall that will drop from the ceiling to separate the two buildings in the event of a fire. It is predicted Pearce construction will pull off site at the end of the month, that means we can take it over soon.

Webcam down

They are cutting power to all of our buildings today to wire in the new expansion. They expect it to last about two hours. During this time the webcam will not be updating.

Still doing brick work, both installing and removing. The electricians are still working with the wiring. The roof top units are now wired and plummed. Metal sheeting is being installed on top of the parapet walls. A load of insulation was dropped off and will soon be installed.
