RISKY BUSINESS

Risky business indeed. Yesterday was gutter installation day. With the colder temperatures came high winds which made carrying and installing the seamless one piece gutters very difficult. Especially on the South side of the building. Imagine attempting to put up a single aluminum tube 80' long in the wind. But the installers did it and the gutters look great. The section you see being prepared below is tied into the drainage system to help keep Miss Sarah's courtyard dry.


The kitchen and storage cabinetry has been installed in the classrooms with the top trim in place. The cubbies are being assembled in single large units and are being set as well. The quality of the cabinetry selected by the Board is really extraordinary. With drawers that fully extend and are supported by heavy ball bearing drawer guides, we can expect them to really perform. Dovetailed drawer boxes will last easily the lifetime of the school. German engineered adjustable hinges will make maintaining the operation and appearance of the cabinets themselves possible. No more sagging doors that fall off! As you can see below, there is no shortage of enclosed storage for the classrooms. The assorted mismatched cupboards have seen their last days.

The custom cabinetry for the Director's Office is also now in place. From Miss Christa's desk she can easily see everything. The office also allows for comfortable meetings with parents.

Miss Tamara's desk in the reception area is also in place. The sun-filled reception room is ideally suited to her bright personality.

So many great things are going on. Work continues at a great pace under Dale Buchanan's leadership. There is not a day that goes by that something new and exciting is added. We are very excited about the exterior painting. Once complete we will certainly post the photos here.
