Tag: Renovation

Today’s post is a bit late because I wanted to make sure we have photos of the lovely mezuzah hanging Rabbi David led last night for a small group of the renovation task force and the board of trustees in honor of Alan Cohen.

Our only concern was that someone would sit in a pew that wasn’t yet anchored to the floor! But, no worries, everything went beautifully (and yes, those two fellas were working at 8 pm last night to secure them.)

Here are the pics from Day 3 of our countdown:

Nope, it’s a sanctuary. But it sure has that Sukkah feel with the wires hanging down from the ceiling, doesn’t it? A lot of progress was made this week, but it’s not easy to tell cosmetically because it’s at the not-very-pretty stage of infrastructure fixing/building/improving. But, very soon all those wires will be in the ceiling where they belong (meaning we’ll have a ceiling soon!)

What a difference a week makes!  You can see the outline of the new bimah from the photos below. During our board meeting last week, we all took a peek and were generally surprised about how small the sanctuary seemed without furniture from the back wall to the lobby door, but how high the ceiling was!

No rest for the dusty! The renovation of the sanctuary continued this week, and you can see the progress, particularly the creation of windows on the back wall, in the photos below. The carpet and asbestos tiles have also been removed, so we’re safe and sound moving forward!

Here we go, the first week of renovation work in the sanctuary has begun! Here are a few photos of the demolition work that began on Monday. Glad it’s not in my house!
