We had a short program with hymns, a few speeches and a ribbon cutting, followed by pie! There are lots more photos on Facebook.
It was fun to celebrate our lovely space and breathe a sigh of relief that the construction is over, finally.
Except that's not really how these things work! As the venerable Paul Penner is fond of saying these days, "Construction projects don't really end, they just kind peter out."
We found that out last week as a section of our lot got repaved.
There are still a few odds and ends to figure out, like a few office renovations and some tweaking of the water pressure in the new sinks, for instance.
One more detail we need to think about is who will maintain our new landscaping for us ...
Looks like the geese have that covered!
Those little details always take longer than you think they will. One day we'll realize, "There haven't been any construction workers around for a couple weeks. We must be done!"
Thanks for journeying with us through construction, either through your donation to the Next Chapter Campaign, or through your interest in our updates, or your patience as you visited us during the chaos. It's been fun and now we're on to other things. Come and see us soon!
