This week, large diameter HVAC ducts sprouted out of the kitchen ceiling and spread out like very organized vines into neat rows that stretch across the ceiling into the cafeteria.
Above the kitchen, there is a mechanical room that will be home for 5 forced air furnaces. At some point in the near future, air conditioning units for these furnaces will be installed just outside the kitchen along the west wall. Together, these 5 forced air systems will keep the western half of the church warm and cool, as appropriate.
Sam Byman and Steve Wikman assemble a duct run on the floor.

Same operation as above, just a different perspective.
This is the mechanical room above the kitchen, where all the ducts terminate. No furnaces are here yet, but when they are, it'll be...crowded.
By the end of the day Saturday, all four of the dining room supply ducts and three of the four return ducts were in place. The kitchen supply and return ductwork is still on the To-Do list.
As ducts inside were going up, the scrap wood pile outside was going down. More BTUs gone forever.
Out back, Bob Niemela, Matt Grangroth, and Charles Skoog side the back cafeteria wall. This section of wall will be getting a porch roof.
Just around the corner are Kevin Moll, Phil Muhonen, and Adrian Pirness.
