Latest update

Here are the latest updates on the new building project:

*The drywall is up, but not finished. It will take 3-4 weeks to do the finish work, then the walls will be ready for paint.

*The metal roof is being installed on the south side of the building, but the colder temperatures may put this on hold.

*Heating/AC work continues.

*All of the exterior windows have been installed except the 9 high ones on the south side of the building.

I'm also including a picture taken by Roger Kirkwood in early January of the brickwork that's been done on the back exterior of the building.

Progress update

The library board received an update from Project Coordinator Kate Smith at Monday's board meeting, and here's what's happening with the new library project:

A few items, such as masonry, roofing, siding, and fascia are on hold until the weather warms up. Installation of plumbing, heating/air conditioning, and electrical are progressing. In the next month, contractors plan to work on windows, drywall work will continue, and roofing and masonry will progress if the weather allows.

Construction is just over 60% complete!

Update

With the building enclosed now, the photo updates may not be as frequent as in the past. Here are a few photos of some changes inside. Later in the week I will post information presented at tonight's board meeting regarding construction progress.

An area with drywall...NICE!
