The Geothermal Project



A big THANKS to Kofron Builders for their contributions to our geo-thermal project.  Their prompt and skillful work within the church helped greatly with the project flow!


 

The units are in, and installation has begun.
We are getting closer!

 

 

We wondered what was tearing up the yard, and then we saw it!! A prehistoric Giant Sloth.

 

July 13 - This is where we were last week.

 

 

 

The picture shows tubing going into the “former” boiler room. The 26 1” borings that go under the church and parking lot have been narrowed into 10 1/4” tubing. We are in the building!

 

July 7 - Boring is completed. They are making final connections that will go to the unit. Much of the interior work has been done in the church. We are now waiting for the units to be delivered.    
     

 

 

June 30 - While the rains helped tremendously the gardens and crops, it is delaying the geothermal project. They need to dig out the ditches before hooking up the tubing. They are through with the boring and now will hook up the tubing into a central location, our former boiler room.
 
 
     

 

June 23 - We are just about finished with the boring. This week they were boring under the KC building, under the parking lot and coming up in the grass before the street. They have been doing a lot of work in the “boiler room.”  Our 30 year old boiler has been removed and the room is being retrofitted for the piping that will carry cool or hot air to the church and the rectory.

 

 

The trench where the piping will be tied together.
