Hi everyone, as we transition into the building phase of our project, I thought it would be good to start a habit of weekly blog updates.
This week there isn't much of an update, but at least I can explain what is happening, and not happening, and why.
The effort right now is to obtain diocesan approval for our final plans and for the terms of our contract with Poettker Construction. It's taking longer than I'd like to gather the needed materials. All we lack now is an up-to-date cost breakdown to provide the diocese. The minute the contractor provides that, I will forward the package to Bishop Braxton and his advisors for approval. We should not expect this to happen in a day or two, but I trust that everyone involved will do what they can to move us along quickly. We have everything in place to do our excavation, but we don't want to do that until we're ready to get Poettker working. Otherwise a big hole collecting water is just another problem.
In the meantime, we've started paying more deliberate attention to later elements like pews. The pews and chairs will cost somewhere between $90,000 and $105,000. We have proposals from Gunder, New Holland, Sauder, and Ratigan-Schottler, and are talking with Heritage Design of Peoria.
