Block Walls update July 12 2016

70,000 block are now onsite and most are laying in walls! Our three mason crews are each finishing up their section of the building. Cleanup and filling of the block cells with concrete continues. 
We will now begin forming the beams that will span doorways, windows and the skylight-type structures so these can then be filled with concrete. 
During this same time the plumber can begin digging properly sloped ditches for the many drain pipes and then install these pipes now that the 40+ masonry workers are done with this portion of their work.

Here is are a couple of videos, one showing a brief overview of the building site and the work by volunteers and another is a one minute tour - hang on tight!
