After several days of drippy weather, we finally have a nice day today! So, hopefully, the crew will be able to make great strides in getting the parking lot paved. They are planning to lay down the asphalt in two layers. The first one will go down directly over the dirt, and they will let it cure fully before they pour the second layer. Not everyone will pour their asphalt in two layers, but our crew has determined that doing it this way will provide for a longer lasting parking lot and a much smoother one as well.
Curbing is almost completed on site, and you will also see that the new parking lot lights are in place. It's amazing to me how many people it takes to build a building, and the many different skill sets they all have. For the parking lot alone, it will take four different crews. One to do the curbing, one to pour the asphalt, one to get the lights functional, and one to do the final striping of the lot.
Sometime soon, you should see a tent go up in front of the building. They will be working on another slab pour, and will use the tent to keep the area warmer. Windows should also go in sometime soon. They are putting the frames in place, and we hope to have glass in them shortly.
Our beautiful, intelligent, and oh so stylish library manager (can you tell it's evaluation time?) has been working hard on finalizing the bid packet for the furnishings. Shelving is (I believe) done, and we hope that soon all our various packets will be finished and off to wherever packets go to be approved.
People keep asking us when we will be moving back. We still don't have a firm date on that, but are hoping to move sometime in summer 2009. In the meantime, please join us at the temporary location. We are still hard at work bringing you new books, DVDs, music Cd's, and as many programs as we can in our little shop.
