The recent rainy weather has once again made the construction
site a bit muddy.
(June 3)
|
Work continues, though, and here you can see the steel rails in
place for the overhead crane in the high bay area.
|
The unusual brickwork on the auditorium is evident here. Each
course is stepped back 1/8" on the exterior to provide a dramatic
slope to the wall..
|
Concrete work proceeds on the wing wall near the auditorium. |
Another view of the wing wall with the auditorium roof in the
foreground. |
Inside the auditorium, workers install piping for the roof drain. |

Concrete workers prepare the basement floor on the North side
before pouring begins.
|
Something interesting is always happening at the construction
site. Here they haul in a 70-ton crane on a trailer.
|
The crane was brought in to assist in placing the large roof beams
that span the high bay area and required a team of workers to
unload it.
|
Due to the size of the crane, streets had to be closed off and
police cars escorted the trailer through town.
|
Here the crane is assembled and ready for the beams to arrive.
