RAIN RAIN RAIN

While the rain is preventing us for doing much with the new foundation, we are continuing with the work inside the existing building.  Partition walls are going up and it is exciting to see the shape of the actual classrooms.  It is hard to imagine the scale of the spaces without any furniture or young MCHS students around but taking a walk from one side of the classroom to the other makes it pretty clear.

  The steel for the foundation has been inspected by the structural engineer that designed it.  It has also been inspected by the City of Dallas and has passed inspection so we are set to pour our concrete as soon as the weather allows.  The rain effects not only our project but hundreds of others as well.  This plays havoc with the concrete suppliers.  Needless to say, we are looking forward to having the building "'weathered-in" to minimize the impact that the weather will have on our schedule.

  We made our final choice of interior doors today and have placed the order.  We are now going to be able to personalize each door to each classroom with a color that relates to the space. 

  The Library is framed and we can now see what a great space that will be.  The bookcases are also in the works.

  A final determination has been made regarding the placement of the lovely blue leaded glass that was formerly installed in the front doors.  This will now be installed in the double doors leading to the BAC Wing and provide a handsome backdrop for the Library.

  Preliminary color selections are moving forward and the project is becoming more real every day.  We hope that you are as excited as we are.
