The contracted plumber has begun work on our project. With this progressing, soon they will be able to pour floors. Bill is going to contact Gary Johnson again as he has not yet received the drawings with the layout joints for the floors.

The beams are here. They are unfinished, but Kringen's will finish them once they are installed. The roof material is also here. They are awaiting the arrival of the roof trusses.

They are hoping to make the last pour to the foundation wall tomorrow, which will connect all the footings.

The brick layer will be in to lay the 1st floor for the elevator shaft.

We discussed the bill from Qwest for the moving of the pedestal. There was no charge for the line cut, as no one lost service. There is a bill for moving the pedestals. The work for doing this is complete. Pastor George will check with Jessica Johnson at Thrivent, as we may use the money for soft costs to pay this, rather than treating it as a change order which would use contingency funds. Requesting a change order then makes it more costly as Kringen's has to treat Qwest as a sub-contractor and add in insurance cost. The difference would be about $200 plus a cost for Qwest of $2600. Pastor George will follow up to see what is the best way to handle this.

Gary Johnson will be back for a site visit Wednesday Sept. 8 and Thursday Sept. 9. Pastor George will schedule a meeting the the Kitchen Committee on Wednesday, and the Interior Committee on Thursday. Bill is wanting a final decision on the window finishes, so he can get these ordered soon.

The next construction meeting will be at 8 AM on Thursday Sept. 9.
