The entire building process can perhaps be summarized as obtain permits, build, and inspect. We have now completed the first two inspections in the renovation work. Both the structural and electrical inspections were completed. This means that work can move forward on some aspects of the work. If you saw Jeffrey Bebee's Radical Renovation newsletter already today, you can see that we need some help.
We are trying to conserve on this project, and one way we have done that is to save the old insulation from the demolition work started in February. That insulation will be recycled into the new structure, specifically it will be used used in the walls between classrooms to help with noise reduction. Each wall will have five layers of material to deaden sound. The insulation, two layers of OSB (oriented strand board), and two layers of drywall. Jeffrey is coordinating volunteer efforts on this project, and is looking for help.
We are still working with city offices to get the structural permit to begin construction of the new space. We do plan to have a ground breaking ceremony when that is complete, but cannot schedule it before the permits are in hand. We are allowed to remove the existing parking lot on the east side of the building before the permit is obtained, and that work will begin soon.
Still one more day to vote on the most recent poll question. Hope you can help at the building soon!
