Montessori Childrens House and School Renovation Update

Montessori Childrens House and School is an AMI certified school for children 3-6 years old. Founded in 1970, we are one of the oldest Montessori schools in the Dallas area. The 38 year old original building is currently undergoing a major facelift. We are expanding and renovating the entire building for the first time in the school's history. This blog serves as an update for construction progress. For more information about the school go to mchs-dallas.org.

FEELS LIKE FALL FOR REAL

This morning we all woke up to much cooler weather and a great cool breeze that certainly reminds us the summer is well on the way out and that our Fall (such as it is) has begun. But most of all I was delighted to see the clear sunny skies so that we might return to work at MCHS.

The truss work is now complete. We were very concerned that we may have to wait a long time for the steel and trusses since they are currently in high demand and very short supply. But due to some serious pleading and the persistence of your project manager Dale Buchanan we were able to get them all in a timely way. The skeleton of the school is now complete.


With the trusses in place over the new space we are able to begin the installation of the roof decking for this area. We expect the decking to be complete today. This will allow the roofers to begin the installation of the underlayment and the ice shield.

They have nearly completed the new roofing with the exception of the shingles for the old part of the building. The new roof will not be black. That is the ice shield you are currently seeing. But doesn't the new facia look crisp!

The inspection of the electrical underground will be rescheduled. All the water in the trenches has to be removed before that can be done.

Inside the school the plumbers and electricians continue. Another great day!
