HALLOWEEN

It may be a big holiday today, but nothing scary is going on at the MCHS. More and more inspections have been scheduled and completed as the days go by. Our plumbing and mechanical inspections have both been passed by the City of Dallas. Our electrical wall work was wrapped up today and is set for inspection on Monday. The electricians were at work hard all week with 6 man crew on the site today.

Above you see them working in the reception area. There will be a large built in desk for the MCHS Secretary. Two of the many Solatube skylights in the building will be in the new Reception Room. One will placed directly over the desk work area.


The structural engineer inspected the framing, concrete forms for the retaining walls and all the structural steel today and each passed with flying colors. He was very impressed with the speed with which the work is being completed and the correct adherence to best practices. Those comments always make me very proud of our team.


Above you see the retaining wall that surrounds the Entry Court to the BAC. The concrete was poured this afternoon. The forms will be stripped early next week. After the concrete cures for three weeks we will then be able to preform the final grading on the site and build the new fences. The fencing contractors have all be selected and are ready to go.

The final design details for the porch have been completed and will be contructed next week.

Hundreds of feet of ductwork serve the new units (7) and will left hanging until the ceiling system is installed. They will all be tied into the framework for the suspended ceiling.

The project will be inspected mid-week by the specialist in Universal Design. An additional third party inspection should be completed as well.

Things are moving along beautifully.
