PROGRESS UPDATE ON THE NEW EAGLE MOUNTAIN TABERNACLE

After hanging all of the sheet-rock they did all the taping and mudding


At this time all of the windows and doors have been installed.

Then they came and textured the sheet-rock. The next step for the interior walls is to paint them. Otherwise, this is how the inside of the building is going to look.
Gutters and rain spouts have been installed.
With everything on Keith's plate he decided to hire a couple of guys to help him with the building. Danny (left) is a local guy and, of course, Dutch (right) is no stranger to most of you as he has been a fixture here at camp for a long time. We are grateful to both of them for helping out.
At this time the roofs over all of the entryways are nearing completion. I think they look pretty sharp.
We have been blessed by so many volunteers coming up on the weekends to help with the building. For the past two weekends we have had serveral families join us here at camp to lend a hand.




Here's Larissa, Keith's daughter, painting the pieces of trim that will eventually cris-cross the exterior of the building.
The dark brown compliments the cream-colored paint handsomely and lends a nice, finished look to the building.



The main doors have been installed and now the buildeing is almost completely closed up. I was very impressed that the doors open and close so quietly- they're as quiet as a cloud, and even though they are really heavy they are not hard to open at all.
All of the doors have been installed, and eventually they will all be painted a dark brown to match the exterior trim.
Check back in here soon for more progress updates. Keith is optimistic that all of the exterior sidewalks and porches will be poured next week!
