ALL THINGS JUST KEEP GETTING BETTER

Another great day weather wise as we continue. I realized that I had not shared a view of the rear elevation of the new building. Previously this area was mostly dead leaves and a couple discarded trash cans. We will now included this landscape in our views. The trees here at the edge of the embankment can certainly use some trimming. There is also a good bit of vines that have overgrown into the trees. Sounds like a great clean up project for the Dad's Club ;-)


We expect to complete the interior framing of walls and ceilings today. Look for a whole series of great pictures to be posted on Thursday. Below you see the hall outside Miss Toni and Miss Jeanne's classrooms. Lots of comfortable space and a nice tall ceiling. Nice!

We are also removing the rotting wooden fences that surrounded the two existing courtyards. The views that this will allow is a real plus. We are keeping some solid fencing for security purposes and to help the children stay directed toward their courtyard rather than the adjacent one.



As part of the complete rebuilding of the systems for MCHS a new electrical service is being provided. Here the underground for the 600 amp service is being dug.


The majority of the exterior doors and windows are now installed so the stucco men have begun their work. The preparation includes the removal of the old metal trim around the old openings. The will install flashing (to prevent water from running in to the building around the new openings) as well. Once that is complete metal lathe will be attached. This screening is the material that actually holds the stucco to the building and becomes integral with the concrete skin that we are applying. The yellow sheathing you see is DensGlass Gold. This is a superior sheathing material.


I can't wait to post the interior pictures later this week.
