Bits of this and bits of that!

This past week and and half or so have been quiet on the site. This has helped us out here in the office to keep focused on work - but it does feel strange to not have a flurry of activity going on across town on our behalf!

Before the gentlemen took a break from our construction, they installed 4 of the large brackets for ease in putting in one of three bolts that is necessary to keep them in place. No - not three bolts for every 4 brackets - every bracket gets bolted in 3 places! Think it will hold?

This pic is the bracket right outside our foyer door. It looks like it will interfere with the swing of the door - but nope! There is a transom window above our door. Much time was spent making sure it would work! I really would not like to be locked inside because the door won't open!


BRACKETS!

Another goodie this past week was gas! We have gas! Again, we don't have a meter (otherwise they would send us a bill I'm sure!) but the line is running to the building now. Ah - when the winter winds blow we will be warm! We had our first frost the other night. Made me extra appreciative of that gas line in anticipation of what is to come. This is Alberta!


GAS!

And yesterday, finally, some of the trusses arrived. The floor trusses from Didsbury have come at last! The roof trusses should be following not long after this. We didn't expect this delay, but somehow the truss company managed to be "late". They are here though! Peter says once they are installed he is putting up the extension ladder and climbing up to our floor. I guess if I want to anticipate the view too - I will be climbing as well! Up isn't the problem - it's letting my feet go over the edge and go back down! But I really don't want him to have all the fun now, do I?


TRUSSES!

With all the excitement of building, God is blessing as well with potential tenants. One whom we have talked with before is still interested. Two more have come forward to get more information and talk with us about rates etc. I almost forgot what we were doing with the main floor of the building! Pray with us as we deal with these requests for leasing! God knows who He wants in the building!
