Update 08.24.10

Alot has happened since the last post. The power has been connected and the lights are on in the new building. The a/c system is in the process of being started up as we speak. This takes several days and includes representatives from both the sub-contractor and the equipment manufacturer participating in the start-up. Work on the expanded lobby continues and we expect to see drywall going up soon. The roofers are here today making the metal roof panels and those will be going up later this week. The classroom wing is almost finished. The carpet is down, the ceiling panels are in and the doors are being installed as we speak. The moveable partitions in those rooms were installed last week. The fire lane is getting ready to be finished up with asphalt coming in early next week - this will also fix the bump in our driveway out front. The flooring in the lobby and kitchen area is coming in later this week and the kitchen equipment will be installed next week.

Quick update: electrical inspection happened this morning and everything was approved. This gives the go ahead to Dominion Power to hook up the power to the new building. Hoping that this happens early next week. When it does happen, PCC will be without power for a day.

Update 08.04.10

Just over a month to go and things are progressing well. Biggest snag at the moment is getting York County to sign off on the electrical portion of things so that we can turn on the power. As of today, we should get the go ahead tomorrow on that and if so, we'll be shooting to get the power on early next week. This will allow us to turn on lights and get the air conditioning running so the the building gets climate controlled. Then we'll be able to install things like carpet, doors, ceiling tiles, etc. Good progress on the lobby addition as it is basically dried in now and interior wall work is getting done. We should be ready for drywall in there pretty soon. Toilet partitions and mirrors were installed this week in both bathrooms.
