First tour of the building for Marco, Linda and Jeff. Everyone wanted to stay...it was tough to get them back to the lab and back to work!! Two weeks until drywall.... 

Moving Along Nicely

Things seem to be moving along rather nicely as of late. Masonry is now being done, the interior framing is complete, as are sprinklers and ductwork. Looking to have the building lockable and buttoned up at the end of next week. Electrical is falling behind, by about a week, so that is holding up our drywall...which is holding up the painting...which is holding up the benches....which is holding up the equipment.................

Well, another day, more progress. Currently, the interior framing is done, sprinklers and duct work are all moving along, and the electrician, oh the electrician.... We are a week behind in the electrical, so once that is taken care of we can hang the drywall and really get moving. Looks like the building will be buttoned up with windows and doors at the end of next week. Below are a few shots of whats currently taking place. The masonry exterior is going in and should be set by Friday, and then the rest of the wall can be placed. Richard surveying the Partial Frame department as it currently stands.
A view of our Crown & Bridge and Ceramics department with nice large cutouts for some spectacular glass. This really should eliminate any feeling of a maze that you get from being fully enclosed.
 

Walls are coming along very nicely...we are looking to have the drywall up at the end of next week. A view looking down the hallway to our new conference center...
