So Much Work . . .

It has been several days since I updated you about the work site. This past week has seen so much work that it is almost hard to fully describe. I hope that many of you have been logging onto the web cam to get a first hand look at the progress. For the last several days there have been around thirty people working each day: plumbing, electric, dirt, framing, concrete, etc. I am amazed at how much can be done in such a short amount of time.

Here is the update as of today (Friday): all of the grade beams have been poured. The picture shows the last of the beams being poured on Thursday. Again, I am in awe of the awesome power of the machines which help drive such a project. The plumbing for the new building is almost completely roughed in (kitchen, restrooms, etc.) and the inspector is to be on site today for final approval. Some electric has also been run for the new building. Along Bering work has quickly progressed on the installation of the new large water retention/storm sewer. By this afternoon I suspect that both school driveways will be back open and the digging will be moved neared to the Westheimer/Bering corner. Our own Bomar Pest Control was one site yesterday and today to finish terminte treatment. Most exciting is that final preparations for pouring the slab have begun (framing, laying plastic, etc.). If all goes according to plan (we have a good day today) they intend to pour about 1/3 (the east side) of the slab tomorrow at 7 AM (Saturday). So if you don't have anything better to do pack the family in the car (or turn on the web cam) and watch the work progress.
