November Newsletter Update:
Finally, some visible progress again! I know you were starting to wonder if anything more was
going to happen and now, we finally have our stem walls poured!
Now you can finally see overall size of the new building and how it will tie into the existing
Church. The floor of the new building will match the floor height of the existing church so no
steps inside!
Now that the walls are poured, we need to let it cure for about 7-10 days. We will then start
hauling in more dirt to fill in on the backside/inside of the stem walls. This compaction must be
done in 12” lifts again and tested by a 3rd Party testing company, just like before.
Weather depending, that work should happen the week of November 4th .
Once the subgrade is brought up to about 8” below the finish floor, then we can proceed with the
plumbing and electrical underslab rough-in. So all the waste lines and conduit that need to be
The building will then be regraded and smoothed back out, rebar and wire mesh installed and
then ready to place and finish the slab!
As of now, we are still hoping to have the slab poured by Thanksgiving, or at least started on it
(it will not happen in one big pour). The erectors for the metal building are tentatively scheduled
for the middle of December to begin putting the building up!
While we have not had any issues since our last newsletter, I did want to remind everyone that
no one outside of the construction team is allowed inside the fencing. This is for safety reasons
as there are still many hazards on the jobsite. Even though you may want to sneak in and look
around, I strongly ask that you do not everyone’s safety.
Please, if you see anyone after hours that looks suspicious, call Erin at the office and she can
get a hold of myself, or the police if need be. I do have cameras in place that catch about 80%
of the site, so any additional eyes would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Chase & The Construction Team
