Week 4 - Basement Walls

The footings are poured, and now the basement walls are going up!

We've had some rainy weather lately, but the crew is doing a great job of keeping to the schedule despite the weather.

Just a few pictures in our photo album this week, but there's an added treat in there -- a perspective shot of the front of the church.

In other news, we are accelerating the schedule with respect to the old High School building that currently houses the Parish Offices. The staff is preparing to move out of the building by Memorial Day. The parish offices will temporarily be housed in the Youth Social Room of the grade school. Access to the temporary offices will be through a dedicated door on Grant Street. The offices will operate from this space until the new Parish Center Offices are available for occupancy, which is expected in late October.

The early move allows us to get started on the asbestos abatement in the High School building, which will allow us to demolish the building in August, and reclaim some of our parking before the weather starts to turn cold again. As an added benefit, the abatement and demolition work will occur while the grade school kids are not in school, which helps us maintain a safe work site.
