The rooms of the lower crossing,
as we look east towards the hospital.
Middle: Concrete block is being
laid to complete the walls of the B- wing. These will later be
covered with the old stone we have from the c-wing.
Greetings from the pink walls!
Today our sand starts coming back to fill the space outside of the
retaining wall, which is currently sheathed in pink Styrofoam. There
are two rows of drainage pipe at the bottom, all serving to keep
the building dry (and insulated).
The A wall is complete, and support columns are going up this week. At the top on the east end there is a notch which is the new front door.
The crew is anxious to get the floor poured while the weather is good, and the intricate choreography of getting sewer, plumbing, electrical and heat under the floor is complete. The last bit was to create an arrangement of the radiant tubing that allows the floor to be poured in sections without a heating pipe crossing any of the joints.
Final detailed planning of outlets, and such continues.

The forms for the concrete pillars being set in place. These will hold up the floors of the upper crossing.
