It was quite exciting to see masonry work being done on our classrooms because that means new walls!!!
 |
| Concrete block walls are being laid in the classrooms on the gazebo side of the hallway. This worker is drilling holes so that rebar (metal poles) can be placed into the concrete blocks. |
 |
| These very diligent workers are placing the rebar into the blocks. |
 |
| The curved rebar has been placed into the existing concrete foundation. This will become part of the brick ledge and ultimately will be covered by the soil. Notice the black material that is used for blocking moisture from the brickwork. (See previous post for explanation.) |
 |
| This gentleman is an electrician. He is placing outlet boxes onto electrical conduit so that it can be set with the brick. Note: On this wall alone there will be six outlets. This is fantastic considering that the current rooms only had four outlets in the entire room. |
 |
| This masonry worker lays the first row of brick on the bus lane side of the hallway. |
 |
| If you look closely you will see that this young man has a big smile on his face. "Why?" you may ask. He felt like it was his lucky day because his current task consisted of replacing the ceiling tiles in our lobby. Lobby = air conditioning!! |
