Progress Continues


GAG Construction Superintendent, Mike Caine, is very pleased with the progress of the building and grounds. Most of the topsoil has been placed in the islands inside and around the parking lot and he reports that the curbs are about 80% complete. It is expected the footers for the building will be poured this week and rock for the asphalt base will be in place by the end of the week as well. Some of the sidewalks around the parking lot will be poured in the next few days and all but one of the light pole bases are fisnihed. Also, the rough-in plumbing is approximately 40% complete. The floor in the building has a post tension system made up of cables and tension hardware to tie the whole floor system together. It has been delivered and will be installed as the floor is poured. Mike is awaiting delivery of anchors before he can continue on the wall structures. This picture is a shot of the parking lot with the islands.
