September 5th Update - DIRT

Hey everyone! Here's the newest batch of pictures from the building site. Sorry that there haven't been that many updates thus far, but we figured that there are only so many pictures of dirt that people can handle. I'm trying out a new format this time, you should be able to click on the smaller pictures and see the bigger version if you wish to do so. Hopefully it works out ok.

In the next update we hope to show you some blueprints of the new buildings, as well as renderings of what the new building should look like...which is a whole lot better than piles of dirt!


This is a view of one of the retaining ponds on the east side of the property. These ponds are in place to counteract the flow of water coming off the parking lots.



Because our parking lots are on a hillside, we are creating a four-tiered parking lot.




This is another view of one of the retaining ponds being installed on the east side of the property.




The construction team on the property has been making an effort to work between bouts of rain as the all-dirt property can turn to mud at a moment's notice.



This is the new church office. Right now it's rather difficult to proceed with office work and print off fliers without getting mud all over them, but we hope that will change once there's an actual infrastructure in place.


This is a view of the pad where the phase 2 sanctuary will be built (more on this in a later update).




This marker denotes the original grade of the dirt and shows how much dirt we had to cut away in this area.




Coffman Incorporated moved in all their equipment and dug right in, and so far the excavation part is way ahead of schedule.




This is another example of original grade of the dirt and shows how much work has been done in this area already.




At one point the property contained five scrapers, four track-hoes, and three large Cats all working at once.
