Sunnyhill New Home

The roof decking that forms the ceiling of our new sanctuary is installed and electricians have begun installing the octagon boxes for our ceiling light fixtures. Three types of fixtures will be installed - 34" diameter shallow drum LED chandeliers, 6" round down-light cylinder lights and 8" round theatrical adjustable cylinder lights. See the photos below. (Clicking on a photo will enlarge it.)

Octagon boxes for our ceiling fixtures have been
installed and partially wired.

are 6" LED downlights, B1 and B2 are 8" LED theatrical 
spotlights and D1 are  drum pendant chandeliers. 
All are pictured below.

8" LED cylinder theatrical light will be

Carpenters continue to work framing the walls and roof of the new addition. By next week the roof structure should be complete. This Saturday, January 21, all the exterior roofing materials will be delivered, so no one will be allowed to park in the Sunnyhill parking lot. The roof will be a combination of shingles, on the peaked roof, and rolled rubber roofing on the flat roof, which actually has a slight slope to the west to prevent water from puddling. See an earlier post for a photo showing the shingle color.

three lower level windows and a clerestory 
window above.

The roof features many surfaces, angles, peaks
and valleys.

The rafter tail in the foreground of the photo has been 
cut to form the curved edge that gives Sunnyhill its 
English cottage look. 

Roofing update, Thursday, January 19: Sheathing

has been attached, rafter tails have been trimmed 

and strips of plywood have been attached to form the

curve instead of using bendable plywood. Click the

photo to zoom in for a closer view of the detail.

The drawings that guide the electricians are centrally 
located in this temporary office set up in what will
become a hallway coat alcove.

Yes, carpenters do write dimensions on scrap wood -- 
here nailed to the studs framing the wall that will
separate the choir/RE room and Jim's office.

The steel-framed sanctuary meets the wood-framed
office and classroom section of the building. The
ceiling of the attic, which will house much of our 
HVAC equipment, is about 15' high.
