Foundation

The clean swept flat earth is gone. Enter the never ending piles of materials, trucks, and a port-o-potty. This finally feels like a build and not like we lost everything to a disaster. With the warm weather the footers and slab were able to be poured before any freezing. This represented a huge deadline completion. Now, the build should go as scheduled regardless of temperature.

From this angle, the site looks small, feeding my worst fears that we are building something that we will outgrow in a few years and not decades. The main meeting room begins just behind the four red support poles. We are to be able to have 130+ in a large group setting. At this point I am not seeing the possibility. I comfort my self believing we made the best possible decision with the information we had at the time. And that some walls might make it look bigger.

Below is the floor plan for the first level. Offices, baths, kitchen and main room. The office is 30% larger than the old office. The bathrooms are not the closet on the 2nd stair. In fact, they each have a shower in them giving us the ability to house mission teams. The kitchen will enable us to make a bunch of food for outreaches. We are thinking about having a meal before Tuesday BSM with some regularity.
