During the last two weeks of 2009, electricians and plumbers have been working inside the existing library to relocate many wires and pipes so that work on the new addition can begin. This work has meant that we have been without lights, computers, and heat (although they provided supplementary heat so the pipes wouldn't freeze), as well as water for some parts of many days. We have water back, but there are still some areas that do not have electricity. Right now, we don't have any Mac computers available for use because the electrical plugs needed are not live. By the end of this week, all that should be behind us (we hope!)
Outside to the south, crews have been working to do site preparation so that they can begin laying concrete for piers, footings, and slabs. Once they have clearance to lay concrete, they will. Then we can say the new building has truly begun.
Stay tuned early next week because the roof on the mechanical room (east) may be taken off. It the weather does not get as cold and snowy as predicted, Brisco will be back to remove this roof. Then, as structural steel is moved into place, we should be able to see the building's new outline.
