The
big machine is the fresh air unit on the Parish House Roof. This exchanges
inside stale air for healthy outside air. Electrician Tony is trying to figure
out where all those mysterious wires need to go (He really knows; he was just
looking very serious for the camera.).
The
big tank trunk is filled with deionized water and glycol. The other truck has
all the pumps and valves. Together, they are giving the geothermal wells their
final fill. The guys operating them are taking great pains to make sure there
is not one air bubble in the system!
Since we're in deep Reformation mode this year,
we shall now pose the Small Catechism question -
What does this mean for us?
It means there should be one extra thing to
celebrate on Thanksgiving Day - HEAT IN THE CHURCH.
But probably not this coming Sunday.
There are still details being cleaned up. Plus starting up this complicated
system is more than just flipping a switch. Actually, a computer does all the
switch flipping to make sure that happens in the right order.
Please know that everyone on the job is
working as hard and fast as possible to get the system done for us. Perspective:
the projected schedule for the HVAC work was 20 weeks/five months. They will
actually have it up and running five weeks early. Moral: it could be so,
so much worse!
There's been so much emphasis on the
heating/cooling system in these reports, here's something different. The Parish
House entry is being fabricated now, and all the equipment for monitoring
and operating the door is ordered. Christmas was a hoped-for date to complete.
Now it's looking more like Ground Hog's Day - Oops! Presentation of our
Lord. As always, thank you for being so patient!
