Work progresses on the walls and floor of the ground floor of the parish hall. Studs for installing sheet rock are being set in place and the underlayment of the new floor is almost completely installed. Sheets of plywood are first glued to the floor, then secured with wood screws.
The walls of the vestibule outside the existing kitchen wall clearly outline the configuration of that space. Plumbing for the new upstairs rest room is beginning to take shape.
Heating and cooling the new space have been a major aspect of the work this week, but one which does not lend itself easily to visual images. The welcome news is that once the renovation is complete, the temperature in the basement will be much more comfortable both in winter and summer than it has been in the past. Ductwork is being routed that will dramatically improve the heat in the pantry storage room at the east end of the basement. This space is notorious for burst pipes during cold weather.
