Construction Update December 24th 2012

Last week Mr. Radtke's fourth grade class was able to virtually tour the construction site and ask questions directly to the construction workers via Skype. A video with foreman Mr. O'Keefe was uploaded to You Tube for families to see the current progress on the interior second story walls. Work on the site slowed during the storm on Thursday, but after clearing the snow Friday morning the crew is ready begin on the exterior second story walls. Precast concrete beams are being placed over the office area, which will be the floor to the media center. The beams for the gym should be arriving to the site in the next few weeks.

The work site is quiet during the storm on Thursday December 20th, 2012.

Crews get back to work by clearing the snow from scaffolding on Friday December, 21st 2012.

Inside the building on the first floor, concrete has been poured and crews are waiting for moisture to bleed out before beginning a smoothing process.

On the second floor under the plastic wrap, crews are busy laying the exterior block.

This view from the street shows how the plastic surrounds the building to keep heat around the work site to allow the building process to continue during cold winter days.
