Since the last update, the foundation block has been grouted and waterproofed. The next steps will be to backfill the foundation and install the plumbing, primarily waste pipes, that run under the slab. TEDCO also finished the opening that will become a new door from the rear (fireplace end) of the fellowship hall to the outside. For those who remember, when we built the extension to the fellowship hall in 1994, we had a lintel installed in the wall in anticipation that one day it would become the entrance to a new sanctuary.

While the pace of construction has slowed somewhat, we are still on schedule. Weather affected the timing of the foundation waterproofing, which was finished today,
and we had to wait for new drawings for the HVAC before we could order the Blueduct that will be buried under the sanctuary floor. The duct has been ordered, and we expect it to be installed and the floor poured by the beginning of December.

| Drawing showing the path of the new and existing storm sewers. |
Last week the construction team hired RDN Plumbing to inspect, locate and determine the depth and slope of the storm sewer. This information was essential to plotting the path of the new sewer from our storm water retention. Based on the information we gathered, the new storm sewer will connect with our existing storm sewer at the catch basin in the driveway by the garage. The inspection also revealed that the sewer is all plastic pipe - a good finding - from the building to the curb, and it is in good condition. Now that we have the new drawing, TEDCO will be able to excavate the trench for the new pipe. While on site, the excavator will also remove the maple and oak tree stumps and excavate the trenches for the HVAC duct in the sanctuary.
