Day 20

Progress continues to be made but is not as dramatic as the excavation. Now that the pilings have been poured, the footings must be framed and poured. We are using Insulated Concrete Forms (ICF) for the exterior walls, which are far stronger than stick-built walls and include 2 layers of foam insulation built-in.

Crushed concrete has been spread over a membrane in the access road in the back of the school. This will be covered with another membrance and then gravel.

The construction site has now been fenced, with the exception of the northwest corner where the new access road ends.




These exposed pilings (with the cardboard forms on them) will provide support to the raised floor of the Performing Arts room.



If you look closely, you can see the trench in front of the tree with the plywood hoarding. The lumber in the foreground will be used to frame the footing to be poured in this trench.
