The weather has been favorable for this time of year for block laying. The walls continue to rise and we start to get more of a perspective of size and shape of our new school.

The weather has been cooperating allowing for more progress on the walls. Bathroom plumbing is nearing completion, electrical outlets are being installed as well. The center bearing wall is on the rise!

Yes, Mr. Smith, here is your daily update. Those are walls rising! The weather has been great today for some great progress!

With winter setting in here in Northern Michigan, the construction plans were reassessed and work adjusted. The concrete floor will be poured when there are some consecutive days of 40+ weather. In the meantime, we are moving forward with block laying for the walls. Then the roof will be installed so that the structure can be enclosed for the bulk of winter allowing for progress to take place inside. Thankful that these guys don't mind the cold! 

Initial block work almost completed. It is really starting to take shape and is really exciting to watch "rise up" out of the ground. Compacting and pouring of the base floor will commence soon!

The walls are rising! One row down, compaction is next and the base floor is poured. Really exciting to see an actual "outline" of the building start to rise from the foundation.

Look what was delivered today?! PROGRESS!!

Plumbing drainage has been finished and approved! Little green stickers are always a welcome sight on a construction project! A base row of cinder blocks will be laid next and the ever important compacting process follows. Next week, the concrete pad will be poured if all goes as planned. Continue to pray for the process and construction crews!

Bathroom plumbing, roof and ground drain installation began today. Should be done by tomorrow. They have been blessed with great weather for working outside! The State Inspector also showed up today to check on progress. God is good!
