Stone Work on Building

WOW! I was away for a week, and I came back to see the stone work being applied to the front of the building and the retaining wall going in around the front turnaround. It all looks great! Inside, the sprinkler system is going in, the duct work now hangs down to where blowers will appear in the ceiling; and the electrical work is well underway.

Steady Progress on the Building

Inside, 95% of the duct work for heating, ventilating, and air conditioning is complete; electrical rough-in is due to be finished in 4-5 weeks; and the attic will be insulated by the end of the month. Sheet rocking will then commence from the second floor to the first.

Outside, shingles are installed on the front side of the roof. On the rear face of the building, the first layer of plywood is sealed and white insulation board is being applied. Stone for the finish work on the front of the building has been delivered.

Site work continues and the front turnaround road is now very visible. The retaining wall is due to be installed shortly. Unfortunately, along with site work will come some parking interruptions.

The “top” parking lot is currently available, but pedestrian traffic will now be routed in front of the Construction trailer in order to access the Library. Follow the traffic markers/ caution tape/ orange fence/ arrows to find your way. Within a week or two, I am told that the lot will be CLOSED and the Library will be only accessible from the Atria Parking Lot. You will know when this happens, because you just won’t be able to get in! As usual, we are here to serve you and apologize for any of the many inconveniences!

We all look forward to seeing the finished product!
