WELL OVERDUE UPDATE




Phase IV started on June 21

WM has been picking up some time and it is moving along really good.  Demo will be done 100%
Framing is going in and windows will be going in.
Andy Shapiro will be doing a door blower test tomorrow he has been happy with all the air barrier walk through on Phase IV.
Electrical and Plumbing rough ins are in and we will having the inspection for electrical this week.

We have decided to proceed with the bead blasting and moisture mitigation and leveling in the '89 wing.

The only set back has been finding some mold in the walls that is being abated and cleaned and dispose properly.  They are working together so it is not holding our schedule back.

The painters are not done in the Phase III with punch list and finishing all the touch up work need it.

Short Term Parking Lot Heaving
We have received a report from Don Marsh May 30th 2014.  The catch basin needs to be lowered to have positive drainage.   He will like to have all the grades around and get elevation numbers before a final decision is made.

The Fire Water Pond is going in after the appeal period is over.  We have a permit to build it and a fence that is 8'high is included and we will be really careful about not cutting trees in the 50' set back.

WM will replace one door and one partition at no cost to us, it was damage while it was stored.

The Preschool fence is being designed and the Garage Shed for the Tractor is on the works.

Pictures coming!

Countdown to the 23rd temporary move is on!!
On Friday we will be moving all day and our new space we will be almost done. We will occupy the space for 3 weeks to allow them to get a head start on Phase IV.

The kitchen will be moved but won't be on full operation until the start of next school year.

Egress will be checked tomorrow with fire alarm, Mechanical will be running, fire extinguishers will be up.

We won't be using the temporary parking lot for now to let the contractor keep using it and keep the project going.

Paint is almost all done! 

The toilet partitions are in.
