Decorative Exterior Woodwork
The most recent pictures of the building show the 9A side, where the decorative wood trim is being applied. It looks great! http://www.briarcliffmanorlibrary.org/photos.html Sorry I can't give you a better photo of the stonework on the front facade. It is covered to prevent any damage, but is also very fitting with the style and feeling of the original building. I think we can all be very proud of this project!

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!

Roof and Site Work
The latest pictures at http://www.briarcliffmanorlibrary.org/photos.html show that indeed, the roof is going on and trim work is being applied. In one photo you can see the pile of boulders that will be removed in order to create the circular drive in front of the Library.
The site is truly humming - with all trades on hand, work being done both inside and out, and trucks delivering new building supplies regularly.

The Roof is Next!
Roofing shingles are due to be delivered tomorrow, so look for roofing to commence next week. Site work will be coming soon, particularly grading the rough areas, installing sidewalks and completing parking lots. The contractor will begin work near the new building and continue up to Pleasantville Road.
Inside the building, duct work for the heating, ventilating, and air conditioning is almost complete; the plumbers are hard at work installing pipes; and the electricians will begin to rough-in their lines this week. Almost all of the framing is complete, so it is easy to see what the finished spaces will look like.

Mid July Progress report
During July and August, Parking Lot and Site Work will resume. Parking in the Library lot may be limited or even non-existent at times. But the Library will be open and ready for business. Parking will always be available at Atria for a quick walk through Law Park.
The stair case leading down to the building from the park is also due for re-construction. The Village Building Department assures me that only half of it will be impassable at any time… Again, we will persevere!
You can see that the windows are now installed in the addition and I am told that 80% of the HVAC duct work is completed on the second floor. Electrical work will begin around the 21st of July and Plumbing should begin the week after. So all of the trades will be on site as the building continues to take shape!

Moving Along with the Building!
WOW - My apologies for not having updated the Blog sooner!
The whole building is functioning and we are here to serve you. The most recent photos at http://www.briarcliffmanorlibrary.org/photos.html
show the progress to date. The whole building is now enclosed and tarpaper is being applied to the roof. Inside, framing of rooms is apparent in many areas. The outline of the windows that will be installed is visible as well. The finish date continues to be the end of the year.
