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!
