RENOVATION PROJECT

Garth Frable has taken many detailed photographs of the Library construction, and described the images for us. Have a look! The first gallery is the excavation and preparation for the safe room. Some of the captions are not visible - just click on the individual image to enlarge it and read the caption.


This gallery illustrates the pouring of the foundations; most of this work was done in extremely cold weather!

Gallery 3 - further work on the foundation, and the shaping of the basement.

Gallery 4 - the basement is being closed in and insulated.

Gallery 5 - the safe room, storage room and utility room in the basement are shaping up - I only posted the photos of the safe room because they all look a lot alike at this stage!


We have been doing a considerable amount of moving around in the children's area.  Many books and some pieces of furniture will be put into storage.
