12 Days, Lights and a Drive Through

The framework for the awning over the drive and up the stairs has been erected. Shortly the skin will be attached and I will be able to drop my wife and child off at the ARC without fear of them getting wet!

The electric company has also installed lighting on the electricity poles around the parking lot. I have not been by after hours to see if they are indeed hooked into the grid. I shall do so and report on that shortly.

I will bring an update on the gym floor tomorrow.

18 Days, A/C, Landscaping,

Only 18 more days before Cleary's ARC opens! Stopping in today I could see many advances. The air conditioning was turned on and running. The upper floor was not as warm even on this near 100 degree day. I took several photos today which I will add to Flickr tomorrow. You will see the checkerboard tile in the Upper Room Cafe. Very cool with a wavy wall.

The was quite a bit of the grid work complete for the hanging tile ceiling all over the building. Some of that ceiling was installed in places while other rooms had the lights in place but not the ceiling tiles.

In the front of the building the forms for the steps from the upper parking strip are in place and landscaping has been laid.

Picture Slideshow

We are pleased to announce a slideshow is now available from Flickr. You can view all the current photos here(pops). As we add new photos they will become available through this slideshow.

Progress Report

The latest progress to report is that nearly all the drywall is hung. That should be completed shortly. Once that is complete the painting can finish.

We drove by and counted the new parking spaces: seventy-three! Wow! I had no idea there were seventy-three new parking spaces! Roscoe told me tonight that there was room for twenty-six more spaces in the drive before the building. That's nearly one hundred more spaces now.
