Finalizing



The crew finished the second coat of stucco and rewrapped the building just in time for a fine snowstorm. I came back on Saturday and did the floor paint.

Interior finishing



The foam insulation is going on the walls and the plywood is being installed over with Tapcon screws. By tomorrow the paint should be finished.

Running down to the wire




With a goal to get the construction portion done by Friday, we poured the last two slabs and gave the building a first coat of stucco. Because the weather is so cold we have to drape the building and heat it from the inside so the stucco can cure properly.

All the metal is in place



The rebar is all in place and the inspector was kind enough to come and approve it. The concrete pour will be Monday after the concrete company opens back up. On Friday we will finish the forms and get the generator pad formed up.

The block walls are rising





The missing conduit got mortered in place and the block walls are rising. Notice the way the frame is secured into the block with wire hooks.
