Week 20 - On we Labor

Visible signs of progress this week, as the parish hall and garages received their floors, the parish hall wall studs were installed, the roof trusses began going up in earnest, and workers began removing concrete and leveling the new parking lot on 22nd Street. Details are in this week's construction photo album.

Since this weekend is also Labor Day Weekend, it's appropriate to take a few lines to acknowledge the hard work of everyone working on the project, including RC Hendrick Construction and their subcontractors, our architects Wakely & Associates, the St. Stan's Building and Capital Campaign committees, and the staff at St. Stan's who daily tackle the everyday decisions and chores that go into making this type of project possible. We also acknowledge the sacrifices our parishioners have made via their financial support and patience.

As we all take a collective breather this extended weekend, the goal line becomes more and more clear. There's a lot left to do, but it's all going to progress at a phenomenal rate. The next month will hopefully bring us a roof over our heads, the start of interior work on the building and additional parking.

One thing is sure: between the dirt that will be moved, the mortar that will be troweled, and the asphalt that will be laid, it's safe to say nobody on THIS project will be wearing white after Labor Day!
