Progress on our project has been huge in the last few weeks. Windows are almost completely installed…even the big glass on the front of the building is making great strides. One of the really neat aspects of this building will be all the natural light we will experience. We’ve used Low-E double paned windows to [...]

Please pardon our mess…We’re salvaging the paneling from the lobby ceiling to reuse in our new lobby!
When we first started thinking about remodeling/building at our Southside branch, one of the items that came up regularly was the tongue and groove on the ceiling in the lobby. We all agreed it was too nice to just [...]

From the outside, it might appear that progress on our building has come to a significant slow-down….however, there is a LOT going on inside the building!

We anticipate a roof in the next few weeks and the brick work continues. The concrete on the [...]

Some of the main support columns have been installed (never fear, more are coming), all of the concrete for the walls and floor of the basement has been poured and the floor joists are in for the first floor. Right now, the iron workers [...]

We are moving into a very exciting phase of the construction project! The air handler will be lowered into the basement tomorrow morning (around 7:00-7:30) with a crane…not a sight to be missed! Visit us again later this week for pix of the installation.
Structural steel will start to go up later this week….and continue for [...]

The studs are here! The studs are here! Well, at least some of our steel studs arrived early this morning for our construction project. This is our first official steel delivery with many more to come. Walls will be built on site and put into place with a crane. It will still be a couple [...]

It’s been a while since our last construction update….while a LOT has happened, not much of it is readily visible as you drive by (except of course, “Mini Mount Sentinel”—someone suggested we paint a big “M” on our pile of dirt out front, Hmmmmm). Basement foundation and walls continue to be formed, poured, cured and [...]
