Making Progress

After a very cold week where the contractors were unable to work on our new Co-op, the weather cooperated and progress is being made on enclosing our new Co-op.

Things are taking shape. This is how the ceiling of our new Co-op will look.

Once the 2 x 6 tongue and groove paneling is complete, the roofing will begin. There will be fewer delays once the building is enclosed.

Setting Ceiling Beams

The walls on the new Co-op are complete so contractors have set the steel columns and have started setting the glulam and steel beams. Windy weather delayed progress but once all of the beams are in place contractors will install the roof sheathing which will be 2" x 6" tongue and groove pine from Hedstrom's Lumber Company. We're looking forward to having a roof on the new building to avoid additional weather delays and to create a warmer working environment for the contractors.

 

Triple glaze windows will be installed once the roof is in place.

 

 Here's another view of the posts and beams.
