Site Clearing Update

  • This week our mighty volunteers have worked on clearing and leveling the construction site. They have done a great job!
  • We are approximately 85% complete and are expected to be done before our ground breaking ceremony on August 30.
  • John Ellis also gave us several free days this week on our equipment rental. The equipment rental is $275/day!

Construction Preparation Update

  • We had our material delivered for the underground electrical feed that we will be doing ourselves.
  • Shane Manly is heading up this project and is doing a great job He and our volunteers will help us save over $5,000 in labor alone for this project!
  • We also are moving forward with the sewer reroute. Our engineer came out and staked out the run and marked the site up so we can dig the trenches in the proper location.

Special Building Blessing

  • Since we successfully recycled the required amount of debris in our demo project, we received a $3,000 check from the city for complying with their “green building” policies. PRAISE THE LORD!
