End of the Week and Things are Leveling Out

Here are several views of the site after this week's activities. The site is pretty well cleaned up. Now we are working on creating the runways for the equipment and setting up to start digging the foundation trenches. Thanks for your prayers and support as a lot of things are coming together now.

Power on the Move

What's happening today includes Tillamook PUD arriving to move the power pole across the road from its current location. It was necessary to move the pole as the existing power lines were too close to the building. Here are a couple of pictures of TPUD at work.

Still Working on Demolition

We had a great Friends of Wi-Ne-Ma Day on the 13th. Good turnout including a number of those who worked on the original Missions Building. Here are a few more pictures to show where we are this week.

Looking Forward to Friends of Wi-Ne-Ma Day

This was the scene on Friday, the fifth day of demolition of the Missions Building. They brought in a "tub grinder" and it is grinding the waste wood to be hauled away by the semi-truck load.

Well Begun is Half Done

The demolition crew moved in Monday and by 2:00 the north wall of the Missions Building caved in with a nudge from the excavator. Now the crew is sorting in about 4 piles - lumber that is still basically intact, broken lumber and plywood, metal, and garbage like tar paper and insulation. They plan to take about three weeks to clean up and prepare the site so check back every so often for a new view.


Septemberfest is in now, so the folks are enjoying the show. Here are some pictures from the last couple of days.

Here We Go!!

Family Bible Conference closed with a wonderful acknowledgement of the start to the Missions Building project. Clark Tanner of Beaverton Christian Church who was one of the featured speakers, invited the group to form a circle around the Missions Building and prayer was offered as we look forward to physical construction. Then the group started moving chairs out of the building. A steady stream flowed from the Missions Building to the old Snack Shack where we are storing a bunch of stuff.

Demolition has begun. The porches were taken off in August and we are salvaging that material. Several volunteers were in Tuesday-Friday this week to take down the ceiling panels. The demolition contractor is scheduled next. In the next few weeks the look will change quite a bit as we actually start this project. We can use your prayers and support as the physical part of this construction project begins.
