Balcony carpeted for the first time!

A lot of the original carpet in the sanctuary is still in great shape, so the balcony, part of the stairs and a couple other stairways have been or will be carpeted. It was rather exciting to watch the men move the all-wood pews from the downstairs area where we have met for church services since last January, up into the sanctuary and then the balcony...

The new sanctuary chairs arrived

We will have a choice of sitting in the pews or the chairs in the sanctuary - a row of the long pews will be in the center, then rows of chairs on either side of the pews. When you stand up and start to visit with someone, there will still be room in the aisles for people to move around!

Here's the new steeple!

Somehow this process looked different than the steeple placements on the old seed barn church, and on the sanctuary many years ago!

The foyer is nearly done!

It was not a pretty sight!

What a beautiful ceiling!

The new carpet is so beautiful! (Here it is partly folded over - not quite fully installed)

The West Wall Restored!

With five new windows, some interior reinforcing blocks, new siding and improved door/awnings - it's looking great!

A few "before and after" pictures - kitchen and library

The south wall inside the library was really in rough shape - then the chimney was removed, and that section of the wall was rebuilt.


Step by step - sheet rock is in, tape and "mud" is applied.

Final touches on the roof
