Our Project - Notre projet
Our United Church congregation decided to make the Côte Church building its permanent home. However, the current structure had no insulation, structural issues, and many barriers to access. Our goal is to rebuild an accessible church with increased floor space, while keeping the same appearance that was there since 1903. See the story below as we proceed. For more information, see details. | Notre paroisse de l'Église Unie a décidé de faire du bâtiment de l'Église de la Côte son domicile permanent. Cependant, la structure actuelle n'était pas isolée, présentait des problèmes structurels et comportait de nombreux obstacles à l'accès. Notre objectif est de reconstruire une église accessible avec une plus grande espace, tout en conservant la même apparence que celle qui existait depuis 1903. Voir l'histoire ci-dessous au fur et à mesure que nous avançons. Pour des plus amples renseignements, voir détails. |
Today there has been more progress as the ceiling, protected by vapour barrier, has been installed on the north side of the building, completing the ceiling installation. Next steps will include small roof truss and insulation.
This was a big day! All of the timber truss were installed with both specialists from Jackson Hill and our contractor Anomali Design were working on site and all the truss (five) were installed, along with the rest of the timber structure.
The first truss at the rear of the church is being placed.
his photo was taken just before the end walls were raised. You can see the base section of the truss (dark, curved wood). On the floor, you can see the back wall - and in the distance, the front wall as well.
If you drove by you would notice the north wall is now also in place. What is less obvious is the wall lying on the floor -framed for the west wall. It is good to see the progress! 
Progress can be seen and unseen - in this photo, one sees the complete south exterior wall. What one does not see if one is driving by is that the north wall is framed and lying on the floor, ready to be put up. Also - "hidden" work includes verification of the stained glass windows that will be going into the east wall (towards the Cote Cemetery).
