The latest changes

Bricks are being laid all over the building

The classroom expansion in the back is taking shape.

Creating the roof

The men from Georgia Metals were out this morning running a metal fabricator press, producing the lengths of roofing needed to cover the additions.

A giant roll of metal is unspooled and fed into the fabricator.

There is a sharp blade at this end that cuts the sheets after the correct amount has been run through and formed into shape.

Inside the fabricator the sheet metal is formed, and then is directed out and onto a series of supports.

The finished lengths are stacked together and will end up on our new roof soon.

Starting the Classroom expansion

They have prepared the pad and footings and will be delivering the cement Monday, September 12.

Taking Shape

The meeting room expansion is taking a more solid shape this week

This is the view on the rather gloomy September 4

The changes by the much-cheerier September 9

Work on the side patrons rarely see

Here's what the rear of the library looked like before construction.

This tree made it through severe damage during the tornado of 2006 and now construction.

Prepping the soil for expansion.

Removal of the bricks

Temporary wall at employee entrance

This will all be part of the new circulation area.
