LUCKY 13

When I arrived on the jobsite today, we had 13 men working away on the roof, carpentry, electrical and site clean up. As is my practice, I arrived to reply to any requests for information from MCHS Project Manager Dale Buchanan. Dale and I have worked together since 1989 and is well tuned to my desire to have each detail mesh together. The carpenters are now working on the soffit and facia details as well as the decorative ceiling that will be placed under the BAC Porch. Below you see the view from the porch to Miss Sarah's courtyard and classroom beyond.


The framing is attached to the steel with fasteners that are driven by gunpowder. It fires with enough force to drive a nail into the steel frame. No small trick. I wanted you to see the under pinnings for the BAC Porch so that you might enjoy the completed area even more.

The decking for the project is complete as you see below and the fascia work is moving along really nicely. It becomes easier and easier to see exactly what we are building as each day goes by.

The storage container is now completely full and a second one has been delivered to accept the first shipment of cabinetry for the classroom kitchens as well as the warming drawers and exterior decorative light fixtures that have arrived. The roofers will continue with the roof on Thursday The plumbers and electricians will continue as well.
