progress continues

workin' @ it

the work is continuing. its been a busy week. a crew of good folks came in on sat and tackled painting the stairwell area. its going to take a couple of coats to really make it stand out. captian jim got the hickory paneling up on the sound booth wall and tonite was putting the finish trim around the ceiling. scottie and his pal got the floor sanded and a second coat of poly on...it looks AMAZING. and its all looking impressive. thanks to the push we've picked up some new skilled men and women to help with the effort. i was dropping off some supplies tonite in the snow and saw this picture from outside. thought it was a little artsy.

the push is on...

we've set a deadline of palm sunday (about 4 weeks...) to get this space finished! woot! woot!

today, our good men...jim and scott finished the sanding & put a coat of poly on the floor. AMAZING!

adding some color

the room is starting to look a lot different. this past weekend the ceiling got a new coat of black paint thanks to the fine talents of don & don masking all the lights off and josh kaufman doing his thing. today the walls got their first coat. we also painted the tables to add a new fresh look. it was especially fun as we had some new workers, ruth, kathy and melissa add their talents.

team renovate ~ week two

we got a lot done this week. missed the first couple of days on film because of some issues with a dirty tape head. which means we missed david gibb's debris dance.

even more dust!

just a quick report on the work the youthscape renovate team stepped through last night. found some interesting surprises when we dropped the ceiling in the bell tower. all good, but what we found has offered another couple options. so stay tuned. will put new video up at the end of the week!
