Building Update- Entry # 3

This was the scene as of last Saturday- May 25, 2013

Things are moving pretty fast these days. Although Monday was a holiday, and it rained on Tuesday, the construction crew continued their progress at the property across the street at location of the new veterinary hospital.





Look what showed up today:

It is very exciting to come to work and see a concrete truck sitting across the street. Isn't it too early for concrete?

Over the last week they completed the work on the underground plumbing and electrical, and had an inspection of those and the footings on Thursday.



 

This is how it looks today:

Prepared for concrete footings 5/31/3012

The concrete truck is here because they are pouring the concrete footings today.
            









      
Here is a closer look:

Why are there several holes in the ground on one side of the structure? As shown in the picture to the right, they are preparing for a small covered patio. This will be a quiet place to take a break, or sit and enjoy the company of a dog.    
                    
                         


In the picture below, the underground plumbing is visible in what will become our treatment room. There will be 3 treatment tables, allowing our doctors and staff more space to treat our patients.
