Getting Close To The Final Stretch!!

We are coming to the final stretch of the Chapel build! Things are really starting to come together!



All the doors are hung and most of the wood trim throughout the building is done.  The Sanctuary's wooden beams are in place and the flooring installations begin tomorrow.  Once the wood flooring is in place, the stone in the sanctuary and the fireplace in the lower level will be done!



You can really visualize the final sidewalk installations and the landscaping possibilities now.  We can't wait to start planting!  We are just waiting to see what kind of weather is coming our way.

The Bride Ready room is looking awesome!  It is almost done! We can't wait to see our Brides standing before the mirrors looking at their radiant reflections.


We are very excited and would love to take any perspective couples on a tour! Give us a call and we will set it up:  417-338-2524

April 28th (Chapel Blessing) here we come!

Moving along fast & furious!!


WOW!!  Things are moving fast & furious at the Chapel!  We are so excited! In the last 2 weeks all the craftsmen have been hard at work.  All the sheetrock was taped, mudded and painted!  All the bead board has been hung throughout.  This week, the craftsmen are staining and hanging all the wood work and the sanctuary beams.  They are also working on the lower level's walk out porch's roof.  It is very hard to take photos right now with all the woodwork laid out on the floors.  By Friday/Saturday we should be able to post some photos of all this week's work.....wait to you see it!!
For now, we are posting photos of our progress up until Monday, 1/8/18.  We can't wait to do some Bride tours this weekend!!  We might even get some snow photos on Thursday!!

Here are some photos of the guys sheet rocking and then spraying "crumb cookie" paint onto the Sanctuary walls:




These photos show the "Fireside Room". It is in the Chapel's lower level. You can see the forest & lake through the sliding glass doors.  The beams are covered with plastic while "crumb cookie" paint is applied. The walls reflect a beautiful pink hue around sunset (when this photo was taken).



Here is a photo of the finial that will be mounted on the top of the Chapel's cupola.  The finial will be copper.  The mantle in the photos will be in the Groom's room.  The large free standing mirror will be painted white and it goes in the Bride's room.






















If you get a chance, go back in the blog and view the chandeliers, dart board and groom's game table. The next time you see them, they will be in place and we will be almost ready to go!!
