Work resumes on the 2nd floor in the Kindergarten & Library rooms!

A lot of work is being done this week to get our building ready for the first day of school!

This week we passed our above-ceiling inspections on the first floor by the City electrical inspector and the Fire Department.

Work continues, finishing up classrooms and hallways prior to city inspection.

Some rooms are beginning to look normal again.

Lighting and ceiling tile grid work proceeds at Trinity this week.

The last of the dry ice blasting and final smoke cleaning are underway.

This past week work continued on demolition in the fire source rooms.

GBH Builders pulled down the plaster ceilings in the 3rd Floor church hallway and adjoining rooms.

Gooch Electric removed lights and secured loose conduit to the ceiling on the first and second floor halls.

Doug and Kevin Young have been working with Thomas Senter to rerun and organize network cabling to get it out of the way of our HVAC system

Painters have arrived in force today. Special thanks to Brick City Painting and Drywall out of Mexico, MO for fitting us into their busy summer schedule.

Paul Davis has begun a dry ice blasting process on the heavy soot damage in the fire source rooms.

With the mitigation phase coming to a close, reconstruction planning is underway. All contents have been either cleaned, cataloged and boxed up, or documented as non salvageable.

The Jefferson City Fire Department helped out with some demolition of non structural block walls. This was practice for them in emergency breaching block walls.

Work Continues in May.

The large gym and lobby are clean and ready for air testing. We plan to meet with the city building inspector and the fire department next week to clear us for reentry of this space.

Its been a busy week at Trinity for our clean up crews. They brought in two big lifts to clean smoke damage and soot off of hard to reach places in the gyms, stage, and sanctuary.

Smoke mitigation work proceeds 7 days a week to keep on schedule. This weekend, crews continue to pull down drop ceilings and clean walls in the first floor gym lobby, restrooms, and concession stand. They also moved into the hallways on the second floor.

This morning, work continues on the cleanup process. Carpenters have put up a temporary wall that will form an ozone chamber in the cafeteria. This wall and door has to be stout enough to handle thousands of entries and exits. All our items and furniture that can be salvaged have to be deodorized.
