Building Project Update


FBC Family,

Here is the update on the Church Building…..

I had the Ground excavated on Monday for the installation of the Electrical piping underground. The Electrician came out Tuesday and installed the piping (As per my Plan for this week…). I called the City of Lindon Monday evening at 5:15pm (They close at 5pm….) and left a message (Which is standard practice) for a Tuesday afternoon inspection. I didn’t not hear back from the City Tuesday morning….. So at about 9:30am Tuesday I called them. The lady at the City told me that she never got the message. I asked her if we could still get the inspection, she told me the Inspector (Gary) had a class in SLC in the afternoon and could not make it. I said what about Wednesday morning? She said that he had another class and couldn’t make it…. I then said how about Wednesday afternoon? She said he already had (2) inspections and couldn’t make anymore. I asked her if there was someone else who could make the inspection…. She told me she would make a couple of calls and would call me back. She did….. but with no avail. So Thursday morning I met with Gary and he passed the inspection. I then called Oberg Const. for the backfill and he couldn’t make it out until Friday morning, which would have been fine, I could then pour the interior footing on Friday afternoon. But as everyone saw today….. it rained and snow throughout the day, so we could do the work. This has put the work off for another week!....

I am looking at next Monday to get the interior footings and elevator slab poured….. My next dilemma is that is to suppose to rain Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. This will stop the Elevator walls from being installed, back filling of dirt around the elevator, and the slab from being poured. Another week….

This may be part of God’s plan….. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE Pray for this upcoming week, we do have an enemy that wants to stop us…. But our GOD is greater!

I need your Prayers!....

James said “The effectual Prayers of a righteous man availeth much” (James 5:16b) We were made righteous through Christ Jesus.

Paul said “Pray without ceasing” (I Thessalonians 5:17)

Thank you in advance…..

Update and Prayer Request


We were going to pour the interior footings and elevator floor last week, but ran into weather and drawing conflicts (I thought I had all of them resolved… but found a couple of different items that need to be clarified…..). I am meeting with the Concrete, Framer, and the Plumbing Contractors on Monday to get everybody on the same page. 

We will be installing the electrical and phone/data conduit on Tuesday. On Wednesday we will be pouring the interior footings and elevator floor. Then on Thursday form and pour the elevator walls. On Monday 3/29 we will pouring the slab.

We have had so many errors and hold ups….. Please Pray that we can accomplish these items that according to the schedule I have implemented (If they are according to God’s will)  and for the rest of the building.
I will keep you updated each week as we progress through the building of our Lord’s house. 

Sincerely,
Anton
