Still progressing..

I keep hoping that spring is just around the corner, but it looks like we still have a bit more winter weather to get through before winter leaves for good. Oh well, at least the building is progressing forward on schedule.

This week, the existing building has been completely painted on the inside. All the staff offices, study rooms, etc... are almost done. The ceiling grids are being installed and they are beginning to prep for the flooring.

In the new part of the building, there are just a few areas left that need framing. They are starting to hang sheet rock in those sections, and finishing up the electrical. All the sky lights are completed, and the monitor panels are in.

The brick art relief has been cleaned and restored and it looks beautiful! Hopefully they will be able to do the same to the brick that has the 30+ years of embedded chalk dust!

Outside, the prep for the sidewalk pours is being done. No word yet on when the asphalt will be poured, but hopefully it will be soon.

On our last walk through, I was noticing how light the entrance of the building is. When you walk in, even with the plastic covering the window openings, it's very easy to see how open and airy it will be. The perfect place to meet your friends for coffee and grab a quick bite to eat.

While it doesn't look like it, landscaping is being worked on. I believe the replacement trees have been picked out and are being stored somewhere until we can get them planted. No, I don't know what they are or when they will go in, but I'm looking forward to seeing some more green go up around the building.

Over in the temp spot, please come by and visit us. We still have the same great service, and all the same materials, it's just compacted into one very small space!

Stay warm and think Spring Thoughts!
