concrete block work for stair and elevator nearing completion
Mother Nature finally gave the construction prject a break and provided two weeks of warm, dry weather. Construction crews were able to take advantage of the Indian summer weather by finishing the roof. To those who walk by the project, you will notice the steel for the exterior walls is now taking shape with the goal of having the building enclosed by Thanksgiving.
The crews are really pushing to have teambulance garage complete and ready for use by early December.
Interior blck and masonry work is completed on the elevator shaft and stairwell. Plumbing crews are also doing a lot of inside pipe work.
The weather was a welcome relief from the cold, wet Ocotober and the building remains on schedule.

The concrete floor for the new addition was poured during the week of October 26th and is now curing.
The Hospital structure has really taken shape over the last 6-8 weeks. The structural steel is in place except for the miscellaneous handrails and lintels for the masonry work. The block work on the new ambulance garage was completed during the week of October 26th. The masonry crew is now working on the elevator shaft and the stairwell in the new basement. Also during the last week of October, framers began working on the parapet wall on the roof frame. Once they complete the parapet, the roof will be finished. The roofing material is scheduled to arrive the week of November 2nd with installation beginning the next day. We anticipate having the roofing complete in the next two weeks.
Mechanical, electrical and plumbing work has begun. By the middle of December the interior walls of the new hospital wing will be framed.
West of the project, grading work for the new parking lot has begun and will be followed by concrete work. We anticipate completing and turning the parking lot over by mid November, if the weather cooperates.
