Monday - Things are moving fast

Things are shaping up nicely at the new building!

Important parts are being installed as this is being written.  Walls are going up and sheetrock is being applied to them, kilns are being moved, and air conditioning ductwork is being carefully put into place.  All these things are coming together to the point that you probably wouldn't recognize it as the same building if you toured it before the work started.

Stay tuned!  It's only going to get more exciting!

Saturday - Waiting...

Sorry about the lack of activity here lately, but we are waiting on the permitting process before we can proceed with construction.

Stay tuned...

Thursday

The demolition continues.

The floor of the large room in the front of the second building was covered by brick pavers which are no longer needed.  As the pictures show, there are a LOT of pavers.

Un-paving the classroom area.

More pavers.

The "un-paver" in action.

What a mess!

Did I mention "mess"?

Sometimes in the midst of the commotion
it's nice to enjoy the serenity of the courtyard.

Tuesday - Beginning
