Hillside Construction - February 2004

Through February 12
Improved weather has allowed the roofers to be on site most of the week. The east wing is now in the dry, and the west wing is expected to be complete by the end of the day, Monday, February 16, leaving only the roof over the mechanical room and administrative area to be completed. Rough in work continues on the inside and sheet rock work is expected to start later next week, as larger areas become dry. Most of the inside burnished block has been set, although there are still a few piers to be completed in the general music room. Floors have been poured now in the staff work room and general music room. Duct work continues, with the first floor of the east and west wings close to completion. The central stairway has been set, as has the east stairway, and work is currently underway on the stairway to the mechanical mezzanine. The block masonry work on the exterior is now complete on the south side of the west wing and the crews have now moved to the north side of that wing. A few windows have been installed, as that work follows the masons. Plumbing and electrical work continue on schedule.

Through February 5
Inclement weather continues to delay the completion of the roof and no progress was made this week. The plan is to have a double crew on alert to begin again whenever the weather is acceptable. There are, however, large areas of the building that are dry and a significant amount of work is being accomplished in those areas. Virtually all of the burnished block work inside is complete and exterior block work continues in small protected areas, with the west end of the building being worked on at this time. Most of the wall framing is complete in the building. There are two areas where the floor has not been poured (a staff work room area and the general music room). Concrete in both of these areas should be placed next week. A significant amount of duct work has been installed in the west wing and sheet rock activities have started in small areas of the center wing. The stairs have arrived and are currently being installed. Plumbing and electrical work continue on schedule.
