We're in the back stretch!

Into every life a little rain must fall...It appears we'll continue to experience leaks until the roof is finally completed and the flashing around ductwork and vent pipes is done.  There was quite the downpour in Room 232 during yesterday's soaking rain, but a crew was on hand to make sure the furniture and equipment were covered. What we need is a few dry days so the roof work can conclude. We think the new roof with its thick insulation, together with the new windows, will produce some significant energy savings during the cold months of the year and improve the comfort level on the 2nd floor year-round.

But leaks aside, the project continues to progress.  The new ceiling in our Main Office should be completed today.  Workers are busy putting in the new floor tiles, lights & ceiling tiles upstairs.  Our lobby is crowded with boxes of stools & other furniture destined for the labs. Big, industrial ceiling fans are expected to be installed in the gymnasium tomorrow.

We were booted out of the Main Office while the plumbing and wiring for the lab above us was installed and again when installation of the new ceiling began.  This required some scrambling on our parts to find available computers in the mansion, so that business could continue.  We've been told that we can re-occupy our office space perhaps as early as tomorrow.  That will be nice.
