Math/Science/Classrooms/Gym


The weather has cooperated this week and the contractors have made good progress. They have about half the red iron installed on the math/science section and they are working on the footing on the other half. Also they are pouring the footing in the next classroom section and preparing the drains under the gym floor. The picture shows the agriculture building on the left, the regular classroom section in the middle and half of the math/science section on the right.

Cold Weather

The cold weather has temporarily stopped progress on the project. The sub-contractors have not been able to pour the footers or install the blocks on the walls. They will not be able to continue until the weather warms to near 45 degrees. It is expected that work can begin next week.

The block layers have been on the site installing the interior walls in one of the classroom sections. Also, the sub-contractors have continued to install the red iron on the agriculture and classroom sections. The pictures show the red iron and the interior block walls along with the hopper used to mix the mortar for the blocks.
