EMD's and Carpet (up to December 11th)

EMD's, in case you aren't familiar with the acronym, means Endless Minute Details--and that's the stage we're working in. Rather undramatic stuff, to be honest, but essential nonetheless. It's been on other words, a few weeks of filling in little bits and pieces of sheetrock (which are actually ALL done now!), modifying the bathrooms in the foyer, putting the final touches on the wainscoting and lighting, and much more. We're also pleased to announce that we have carpet in the sanctuary! It's very beautiful and has really put the finishing touch on a wonderful, peaceful space.

Bathrooms--we have to move the toilets 2 inches farther from the wall (ADA requirement),
so out came the jackhammer again! But we have one bathroom completed (except for flooring)
and are well into the second (after Gregory demolished the old walls, below)
