Day 170

Drywall is now complete in the classroom section of the expansion, including the hallway. The drywall has not been hung in the ceiling over the fine arts room. A lot more electrical is complete in the multi-purpose auditorium. And we even managed to complete the rest of the stucco work today.




This wall adjacent to the entrance was the last to be stuccoed



Not only is the drywall complete in the hallway but so is the ductwork



This chase was constructed at the back of the auditorium to neatly handle all of the wiring for the sound and lighting equipment



The fine arts area is looking good with drywall on the ceiling

Day 163

Drywall continues to be hung while the metal doorframes are installed and the doors themselves get painted. Progress is being made on the electrical in the offices as well as the auditorium and fine arts areas.

All but 1 wall of the classroom hallway is drywalled

Day 156

It has been 2 weeks since my last post so lots of progress has been made. Most of the stucco has been applied to the exterior and, with some hoarding, should be completed shortly. Inside, the 4 classrooms have been insulated for noise, the ceilings have been vapour barriered, the electrical has been roughed-in and the drywall has been hung and taped. In concert with Mid-West Electric and Barndog Productions, the wiring in the multi-purpose auditorium is being completed so that we have adequate power and controls for sound, lighting and a projector. The drywall in the Fine Arts area and auditorium should be hung shortly.

There is a temporary wall at the end of the elementary wing as the window has now been transplanted into the west wall of the new office area.
