A few more pictures

The concrete was poured last Friday. June 16th should be when the frame starts going up!

A few updated pictures

Today, the rest of the gravel was poured. As of now the plan is still to have the concrete slab in by Friday afternoon. Here are the newest pictures

Rain slowed us up a bit

Due to the rain over the last week and a half, we are a little behind where we expected to be at this point but we should be able to make up for lost time this coming week. The plumbing and the concrete slab should be in by the end of last week. As for now, the gravel got put in on Friday and will have more added on Tuesday.

Moving right along....

Footings are in!

Footings went in this afternoon before the rain started. Lord willing we will have a concrete slab down by next Friday.

slow day

Due to election day we were not able to get the inspector out to check out the work. That kept us from pouring the footings today. The crew was able, however, to finish digging and putting in the Rebar for the footings. Here are the pictures, they will give you a better indication of the size of the building.

Day 1

Today marked the first day of our new building project. For those of you who aren't aware of what we'll be doing, we are adding a gymnasium with 6 new classrooms and a kitchen. We are really excited and I will try to frequently update pictures throughout the construction. Today was a good day, the weather was perfect and the crew got alot accomplished. We did run into a much bigger "water table" in the soil than we would have liked but not so much that it will hold anything up. When the trench was dug up for the footing next to our current building alot of water started pouring out of the foundation. it took several hours to drain the water table but now we can move forward. Below are a few pictures from our first day.











Footers go in tomorrow, Lord willing!!!!
