Latest progress

Kate Smith, Project Coordinator, shared the latest progress on the new library building at the October 12 board meeting. Roof trusses have gone up, as you can see in the picture below. Metal stud framing was scheduled to begin the first part of October. Exterior masonry materials are also being ordered. During the month of October, the focus is on finishing the parking paving and working on wall framing, trusses, sheathing, insulation, etc. to get the building enclosed before winter.

I took the following pictures today, Monday, October 19th.

Building progress update

Kate Smith, Project Coordinator for the new library building project, provided me with some information regarding progress on the new library building. First, a lot of the concrete for the drive and parking lot has been poured. If the weather holds out, the rest may be completed this week. They have started backfilling around the paved area, and hope to do temporary grass seeding along the south side of the building before the weather turns too cold. The installation of the structural steel is on schedule and should be completed early this week, and roof trusses will be delivered mid-week. Exterior wall framing starts this week, and the exterior masonry choices have been approved by the library board. The primary focus right now is to get the building enclosed before winter. What to watch for in the next few weeks: framing, trusses, sheathing, insulation, and masonry being installed!

Growing up!

The building is really starting to take shape! Photos taken September 30, 2009.
