Branch Presidency Update:

This was posted in the July 25th Sacrament Meeting bulletin:

Site preparation earthwork began Monday 14 June. Topsoil was stockpiled to use later over the yard. The site was leveled; cutting, filling, and compacting several feet of soil. The plumbing below the floor and foundation are being installed. Work is progressing on schedule. The below grade work always seems to go slow, however once these parts are completed including: sewer lines, foundation, and floor. The framing follows and that always looks like progress is going fast.

There is also a reminder to NOT enter the site without permission from the general contractor as this could create a liability.



NOTE: We have noticed over the past few days the pallets of bricks sitting and waiting! The pictures we are taking dont seem to do justice but we will continue trying to get what we can of the progress!

We have a font floor! That is what was announced in Church last Sunday. It is really hard to get good pictures of what is going on because no one is allowed on the lot at all. Rebar is laid on the top level, where we cant see, so it looks like the foundation will be put in soon! This is real progress! How exciting to see so many men on site working, and even longer days!

Cement...

Today we saw something exciting! It was a large cement truck pouring cement in an area on the North side of the lot. There is a build up of dirt at the North end, and so we couldn't see what was being poured, but it was underground what ever it was. My best guess could only be that it had to do with sewer.

Digging...

Digging is happening on the lot today! It is on the upper North West part of the lot, and I cant tell for sure what they are digging, but it looks like progress! We also saw two baby deer just past the "L" street turn off! How fun. I love the area that our building is being built in! The nature in the area is just glorious!

Update...

I wish I could say that a lot of progress is happening on the lot. Unfortunately they are only working half days, which totally drives us crazy. We are so excited to see this happen, and it feels that it is at a snail's pace. However, there is some different equipment there, and a lot of mapping and surveying is still taking place. We will continue updating as things change.

More Trees...

more trees have been taken down on the South East side, along L Street. I can see this might be to make the parking lot, but I am not sure of the exact layout.
