As they lay block we are locating doors, windows and plumbing pipe locations. Electrical locations will utilize the voids in the block that are not filled with concrete.

Wall update June 18
Work is moving along with much to do. We have three subs each with their own crews working on the block work, so there are about 50 workers onsite. They are laying a bunch of block daily, so we have been working hard to stay ahead of them laying off doors and plumbing locations and confirming final locations and information of many details. Everyone is working well together, Our team of three engineers are overseeing the work and are onsite the entire day, checking that work is properly done.
Here is a quick video of the site from above ...

Keep up the prayers and support, Thanks so much!

Lets get this started ... WALLS!
I'm excited!
We are at the end of a slow period during which we changed engineer/builder so that construction will go as efficiently as possible. It was a difficult decision, but necessary.
My optimism is strong - there is a new level of commitment and drive to ensure that that the project happens as efficiently as possible. Frank and I feel like the team we envisioned is now in place.
Masons are lined up, block is arriving, the plumbing and electrical engineers are finalizing details ... we are like the space shuttle that is T minus 10 seconds and counting. I can't wait! Here is a little video summary.
T minus 9 ...
