JRC Construction Diary #15

Oh no! During a recent windstorm our neighbor’s tree was partially blown down, somewhat compromising the great leafy view from our sanctuary’s east window. We’re hoping against hope that the rest of the tree won’t have to be cut down.  In the meantime (as the pic below indicates) there’s still plenty of green to be seen as we look east…

Here are a few photos from this week – nothing too dramatically different. The leaves are really getting thick on the treetops and the view from the sanctuary’s east window opening is incredibly green (above).

The main supply air duct (next pic down) has been installed from the roof down to the second floor, where we have our main fan system. It is going behind the opening that is being saved for a second elevator which we hope to install sometime in the future.

Our electric transformer from Commonwealth Edison was delivered this week (see bottom pic). Getting service from a utility can often be a challenge but they have been very cooperative with us and we are pleased to have the service on schedule.

JRC Construction Diary #13

A good productive week, helped by the beautiful sunny weather. See below: the first picture shows you the view toward the east window/wall of the bimah. The next two pix show the newly poured concrete on the ground floor. And finally, the component parts of our HVAC system (specifically, the heating/cooling coils) parked on the second floor.
