Welcome to our Re-construction phase. Keep checking back for updates as we finish up the remodel of our Facilities Planning (Architectural/ Engineering) division... And as we continue with the remodel of the CS (Computer Services), and GS (Graphic Services) areas.

We had a group of guys here that call themselves Steppin' Out Ministries, who took care of the main indoor renovations, and will be intermittently back to help rebuild and tear down as needed/ or funds allow. On the outside, we had High Touch Ministries doing the initial dirt work and grading. This team consists of, well, Darren... and his bionic mechanical, appendage extensions.

Please forgive the lack of "before" shots, hopefully I'll be able to find some later on, and hopefully things will begin to make sense as the days and hours progress.

Note: If you are unfamiliar w/ TECH and our layout, I have tried to be fairly descriptive and orderly...

The most recent post will be at the TOP. The beginning posts are in the Archive section on the Right, under 2008 and January -only so many posts are able to fit on the page- so, if you're looking for how it all started it will be there.

Week 6 March 3-7



Mar 3-5: Library Shelving Assembled, Books Organized, Carpet Removed.






Mar 6: Carpet Adhesive Removed, Laminate Flooring Installed
10:30am [North side, facing West (WNW actually, but you get the idea)]


3:17pm: N side, facing NE


5:00pm: N side, facing W


10:30am: West sieede, facing SSW


Because the Carpet Adhesive couldn't make amends w/ the Vinyl Planking Adhesive, it was decided that the Carpet Adhesive should graciously yield to the incumbent flooring, seeing as the travel expenses had already been spent. All seemed well until CA received what appeared to be a very nasty email from VPA, which actually turned out to have been sent by the Old Armsrtong Vinyl from the bathrooms down the hall ('cause OAV was being asked to leave also). So both OAV, and the mistaken CA, dug in thier heels and were forced to leave under duress w/ solvents and heavy sharp metal objects. Since CA was spread over such a wide area, it was less fortified in its efforts to defend its territory, but still required extra man hours, and the purchase of industrial adhesive removers; OAV, because of its compact area proved to be a bit more formidable, and proceeded to "just [make] a general mess of things". Needless to say, these actions necessitated the revocation of both CA & OAV's equity accounts, and lease deposits. The emotionally grieved VA, has been compensated by the waiving of any entrance, or lisenceing fees, and will not be charged room & board.

In good faith, VPA has decided to send letters of contact to both CA & OAV in attempt at resolving any matters of dissent, to which no response has been forthcoming as of yet. We hope each party can reconcile any and all misunderstandings in a timely, and Christian manner. We also appreciate your concern in this matter. -Ed.
