The block layers were busy at work when I arrived this morning. By noon, they were finished and cleaned up. The exterior walls are essentially complete, and now we are awaiting the structural steel.
There will be three support posts and a cross beam to support the steel roof trusses which will extend from that beam to the east and west block walls which will support the ends of these trusses. After that, the roof decking and roofing material will close in the building. We've been told to expect a delay of up to a week and a half in the delivery of the steel. This delay is the result of the tremendous progress that has been made in just over two weeks. As a result, the building is almost two weeks ahead of schedule.

The base coat of pavement for our new parking lot is being applied today. There will be a lot of heavy equipment on site before the project is complete, so the final coat and striping will wait until the very end.
