As can be seen from the pics published in the eBlast, Nate & crew are making good progress. Yesterday the waterproofing of the nave's basement walls will be completed and then the insulation will be blown on the outside of the walls. As this is being done, the prep work on digging out the parish hall and setting the cribbing to support the steel beams will continue. Nate's plan is to be able to lower the nave onto the new foundation within the next two weeks and then set the beams under the parish hall to enable the parish hall basement dig to begin. A lot of action at the site!

We, the Renovation Committee, want to thank the subcommittees for submitting their brief reports to Nancy Kinney. She has uploaded these onto the website renovation page for all to read. A reminder as we are moving forward: our architectural team will be reaching out at the appropriate time as they create a schedule for the ordering and purchasing of furniture, fixtures, and equipment. Anything that requires delivery and installation at the site Nate will coordinate the purchasing with the appropriate subcommittee. SAI Architects will coordinate purchasing of other items (furniture, specialty items) and will also reach out to the involved subcommittees at the appropriate time. Once again, this is to ensure we utilize our tax exempt status when purchasing  to save money on sales taxes.

As always, thanks for your dedication and support of this project!
