So Much Completed in Three Days

A lot of work has been done since I took pictures last Friday.  The ground has dried out and it is easier to maneuver around the work site.  The masons and electricians have been busy working on the classrooms.  A quick walk around the work area proved to be exciting. 

With all the block that is being laid, lots of mortar has to go down first.  The mortar is mixed by hand and then the masons slap it down on top of the brick.  There is a very distinct rhythm to the work.  In the process, I believe more mortar landed on the ground than on the brick. 

The haze in the photo is from the dust that the saw is causing.  You can constantly hear the masons cutting block that needs to fit in tight spaces.  The facing wall is actually a new small classroom next to the bathrooms. 

Work is being done on the front wall facing the bus lane. 

This is the view of the new hallway from Mary Queen's view point.

This is a view of the back hallway that faces the gazebo and track area.  Look at how long the wall is now that the new part is flush with the walls from the old classrooms.
