Building Progress

by Charlotte Killen on March 7, 2011

Sev­eral Fri­days ago I went out to the Church Build­ing to see how things have pro­gressed. I must say I was impressed! The guys have fin­ished the ceil­ings and should fin­ish putting up the mold­ing in a few weeks. They hope to have the inte­rior com­pleted within a few months. Our prayer is that God will allow us to com­plete the project this year and let us begin hold­ing ser­vices there! We solicit your prayers on our behalf. I have attached a few pho­tos so you can see what’s going on!

Long Awaited Update

by Scott Killen on February 4, 2011

First, let me apol­o­gize for not updat­ing the site before now. We are tak­ing a few steps to make sure reg­u­lar updates appear here. First, I have cre­ated a twit­ter account, @edistochurch, which you can fol­low for brief fre­quent updates. These updates will also appear in the col­umn to the right of this page. Sec­ond, Char­lotte Killen, my mother, will also begin post­ing more fre­quent updates to the site here along with pic­tures of the construction.

Now, about the con­struc­tion: Work is ongo­ing and steady. We are doing lots of inte­rior work. Our cur­rent task involves installing ply­wood pan­els for the ceil­ing in the non-​auditorium part of the build­ing (bath­rooms, class­rooms, kitchen, clos­ets, etc.) We should com­plete this task in two to three weeks. The next task on the list is floor instal­la­tion We will begin by installing the rel­a­tively eas­ier small linoleum bath­room floors, after which run­ning bath­room plumb­ing can be installed by the plumber. Fol­low­ing this, we will install the high traf­fic wood floor­ing in the audi­to­rium and hall­way, fol­lowed by appro­pri­ate floor­ing for the kitchen, clos­ets, and classrooms.

After floor­ing is com­plete, we will install mold­ing and trim work, and fin­ish inte­rior and exte­rior painting.

We are blessed to see God’s con­tin­ued work in this and we are thank­ful for all of your prayers on our behalf!

Fall Update

November 27, 2009

This sum­mer has flown by. Work has pro­ceeded on the build­ing. We had a new well dug and built a new heavy-​duty pump house out of brick. This sum­mer, all of our mechan­i­cal con­trac­tors have passed inspec­tion: Elec­tri­cal, Plumb­ing and HVAC duct work. We needed to sheath the dorm­ers on the rear of the build­ing (sheath­ing weather proofs the walls using […]

Winter Update

February 13, 2009

The HVAC con­trac­tor is await­ing an inspec­tion before installing the units. All of the duct work and wiring has been run for 3 large air con­di­tion­ers that will be installed on the deck that was com­pleted in Decem­ber. The elec­tri­cian has been installing the wiring and is nearly com­plete. He esti­mated 3 more days of work. We have been installing […]

Decks completed! Parking lot graded!

July 6, 2008

We have fin­ished the rail­ings on the deck­ing and the con­trac­tor has done the early grad­ing on the park­ing lot. After the other heavy con­struc­tion (sep­tic tank and well dig­ging) are done, he will do the final grad­ing and place the park­ing bumpers. We chose to lay shell sand for the park­ing lot. Shell sand is inex­pen­sive here […]
