Construction Progress - Part II

We promised last time that we would have more exciting photos of the job site. While the photos themselves may not be able to capture the work that was being done, there are many more interesting things happening on the job site now. What we have pictured is the start of the placement of the footings for the building. This involves a very large crane, a loader that can lift stones 75 feet in the air, and what can only be described as a 25-foot-tall jackhammer. The footing process involves the placement of stones underground to stabilize the footings of the building by basically injecting the fill underneath the top soil. This process makes the placement quick and easy, and we should see the construction moving onto the next phase in the very near future.


Keep checking back as we hope to update everyone weekly with new pictures and updates on the construction progress.
