Foundation - August 30, 2013





Today, was a historic day for our project.  Workers laid the initial foundation for the custodial room/restrooms/JPO room as well as for part of the administration building.

Workers have been carefully and methodically putting in the rebars (short for reinforcing bars) which will strengthen the concrete.  As I was sharing with some teachers, our students should peek over the walls to watch the workers.  I think this would be a great lesson in doing quality work.

The following photos show the pouring of the concrete.  It was a beautiful day, and everything went smoothly!

               Wow!  That's a TALL crane!   



This is a short video clip of the different workers and their responsibility in laying the concrete.
Look at the reach of that machine!

Concrete foundation for the administration building - they poured about half of the foundation today and continue to work on preparing the other half.



And here's the completed concrete-laying area for the custodial room.
