Final Preperations



The stage has been set and we are making final preparations now for construction to begin. Today Professor French and I delivered the last of our materials to Clayton (structural wood floor, tile, and Simpson joist hangers) and the project will go online at their manufacturing facility next Wednesday. The entire process will only take 4-5 days, before on-site delivery takes place on September the 27th.

Back on campus siding is being primed. Dormer, window, and door details are being resolved. Materials are being ordered and the off-site fabrication in the UT wood-shop is about to begin.

Our masonry team (Andy, Andy, Maxi, Derek, Chris, and Matt) has learned the basics of laying concrete block walls and once footings are poured their skills will be put to the test.

This feels like the calm before the storm, but perhaps it is actually the eye of the storm at this point. Either way, as the next few weeks unfold the project will take an enormous steps towards its final realization.
