With good weather this week, the contractor was able to pour the ramp and walk that lead up from the street level. A portion of the walk that leads to the education building door is also in place.
This close up of the entrance shows the new, wide, low steps into the building. No more giant leap! The roof drain has also been re-connected to the underground drainage system, fixing a long-standing water problem in the fellowship hall.
Indoors, the carpenter has been busy painting walls and hanging the new overhead cabinets for the kitchenette. The base cabinets will be ready soon.
Work continues on getting the floor level in the kitchenette. The old bathrooms didn't have real tile on the floor: this is concrete scored to look like tile. Getting it out is proving to be a challenge but the workers are chipping away.
Lighting is installed in the new bath rooms, and the walls have been painted. The new all-in-one sinks and counter tops are delivered and ready to install, still in their protective shrink wrap!
Figures for the financial campaign for Compton Cares have been updated to reflect the audit done on the accounts as of Dec. 31, 2007. Some totals in the categories of money pledged and received will be a few thousand dollars less than previous reports, reflecting corrections for having counted two contributions twice. But the giving continues to be generous and the support of the project is amazing. The overall cost of the project has also increased by $3,200, the add-on charge to have our plumbing contractor take care of a collapsed sewer in the alley behind the education building that became evident when the project dumpster was moved into place. Having the same contractor take care of that problem now will save money in the long run.
