Update 05.26.10

Sorry for the late update. I'm having trouble finding time to sit down and write with all of the activity going on...and I'm told that June is going to be worse (but exciting!). Lots going on inside of the building. We're still waiting on the additional building permit to get started on the extended lobby so the contractor decided to go ahead and put up some temporary walls so that they can get the drywall finished in the rest of the building. It's amazing how fast the drywall is going up. With the building exterior getting sealed up, a lot of the electrical work is coming along as well. They start breaking through the wall to connect the new with the old building this weekend and after Memorial Day, we'll see a lot more changes inside the existing building as they take out the attic stair and widen the hallway going into the new building.

More great progress to report on. The exterior siding is all now in place and the roof is close. The footings for the lobby extension were dug yesterday and the concrete was poured today. Lots of drywall has been installed. Work on the interior of the existing building is well under way in Hall A & C.

Update 05.03.10

More encouraging news on the progress of the new building! The brickwork is basically finished. The metal roof is not far from being finished. The arch over the stage was framed. Vinyl siding is going up quickly. Drywall has been delivered and is supposed to get started tomorrow. Structural drawings for the lobby expansion have been completed so the footings on that part will get started on Wednesday. The sprinkler system is beginning to be installed. The contractor is ready to start some of the modifications to the interior of the existing building that are needed to make the whole building function well - look for some changes coming soon to Halls A & C and a little bit more dust in the building.
