BLACKTOP

The work continues and soon we will have a great, new parking lot and driveway without the potholes, loose gravel and muddy puddles.



Can asphalt be called a beautiful thing? I think so!

TRANSFORMERS

While they won't turn into giant robots, there is nothing dearer to many a young boy's heart than earth moving equipment. The excavation is now going on for the new flag pole base. We are placing in directly opposite the front door and will install the donor bricks on the base. This will make it possible to view flag raising from the Front Porch and allow it to be seen from the Reception Room transom as well.

Additional equipment is being used to clear and prepare the parking lot for its new asphalt topping. The curb blocks will be removed and replaced on the fresh black parking lot with new stripping. The driveway will be freshened with curb repairs and fresh paint. The pile of dirt you see below was the accumulation of debris on the parking lot from the years it has been in place as well as the construction of the new building.

The place is looking great and we are eager to show off the fruits of the last few years of planning and work. The contributions of the Board and the various committees and donors can not be overstated. We believe everyone is going to love the new building.

FINAL CHAPTERS

With more and more of the final inspections being completed everyday, we wanted to update you on our progress.

The latest security and fire protection systems are in place and have been completed.



This includes the color video security cameras that oversee the entrances and the parking lot which are all managed from the reception area.



The flooring is completed and the looks GREAT!



As we wrap things up the cleaning is beginning in earnest. Here is what a difference clean windows can make. The view is to the Playground from the Nap Room.



And here we see the Nature Trail from Miss Lynne's Room.



More to come!
