Ceiling tile glue and bulkhead coming down

Now that the Wondoor folding partition has been relocated, we were able to take down the wood framing for the old location. It took an entire day to remove the near ton of material used to support the doors. We are now laboriously removing the old ceiling tile glue with hammers and chisel. We are trying to get ready to install new ceiling tile next week.

New Windows

The new Windows have been installed. White Windows have replaced the old bronze colored Windows to match the new white doors, fascia, gutters, and vinyl fence. The windows are double glazed and argon gas filled, to be more energy efficient. These windows are also fixed, eliminating the need for church leaders to check that all the windows are locked before leaving after activities.
