Foundation Complete...and Framing Begins

Hello Athena Families,

It is going to be an exciting week as the new school begins to rise from the ground.  After a month of foundation and utility work, we have started the framing work.  The foundation is complete, which is a combination of concrete drilled piers (10' into hard limestone!), a "floating" perimeter wall and a steel superstructure.  This foundation has been designed and built to never move with the expansive soils present on the site by bearing on the limestone below and floating above ther poor soils above. 

As the frame takes shape over the next several weeks, there will be increased activity to and from the site with multiple trades coming and going on a daily basis.  As always, if there are any issues with the construction activities, please stop by the trailer and say hello.

Thanks again for everyone's patience and I am sharing a few pictures of the progress below.
