What's Left to Do?

There is still a significant amount of work left to do before the office is completed and ready to use. It will take us at least another day to put up siding and complete the outside of the office. Once the siding is completed, the remainder of the work will be inside.

ELECTRICAL
We need at least another day to complete the electrical wiring. We are hoping to work on this again next week. We need to wire for overhead lights and baseboard heaters.

PARTITIONS FOR STUDY
The goal is to have some guys come over Thursday to put up some partitions for a study. The office will have an 8'x8' study and the rest will be a workshop.

INSULATION AND INSIDE WALLS
We have decided to go with chipboard walls for added strength at about half the cost of drywall. We will do the ceiling with this as well. The walls will be insulated with R20 fibreglass insulation.

BENCHES AND BOOKSHELVES, ETC.
I have some benches that I am using in my current office but we will need to make more. We will need benches for additional printers, computer and laminating machine. The bench I am using for my binding machine and trimmer may need to be modified for the new location. In addition to this we will need about 100 feet of bookshelves for books and more for covers. As my current desk is a 1' x 3' board with one end sitting on my trimmer bench and the other on a bookshelf, I will likely need to make another one for the new study.

PAINTING
At the very least we will paint the cement floor. We may also need to paint walls (I haven't decided about this yet).

I believe the Lord has been favouring us in this project and this is, in part what I need to be doing now. Obviously, I am not getting the writing I would like to get done right now but maybe I need a break.

We would appreciate your prayers for the completion of this project.
