Progress!

Well I would have to say that we have made forward movement on the YA Community room. It has been awhile since any information was shared about our progress, so let the "update" begin.

To start out let me first state that we continue to stay within budget. Whew! This would not be possible without volunteers. So a big thank you goes to those who have given of their time and talent to get us to where we are now.

CRASH! The major demolition has been completed. Brick walls have fallen, old wood paneling is now sprucing up the landfill east of Des Moines, and the beautiful green carpet has been released from its decades long hold on the concrete floor.



As far as new construction - we have installed the new cabinets which will make up the Cafe' area. The wall that will support the cafe' counter was built as well. To add some appeal and class Mike K built a frame for the cafe' wall. To quote many people who have walked in to see, "Great Job!". I echo this sentiment as well.



All in all we are making progress. Next steps include updating some electrical items (additional outlets and new lighting). Once this part is completed we will put up the new drywall, tape and mud, and then the process of painting.



Again let me express my gratitude to all you that have volunteered your time and talent to make this new space for the young adults a reality. It is great to see so many of our young adults giving of themselves back to the Lord. I know that we are all looking forward to the project coming to a close and the Grand Opening event.

Till next time!
