Major Changes

This post is skipping some steps of the renovation process due to a battery issue with my camera.  I will post them later.  According to the site superintendent, they are on schedule to complete the front hallway in December.  Over fall break the landscaping by the front entrance will be removed.  In the mean time, there has been a lot of work completed that is exciting to see.  

This is the old brick facade on the outer kitchen walls.  The concrete block filled in the windows and doors as they built new interior walls. 
This is the same wall but it now has new brick.  Since the layout of the kitchen is completely different the doors and windows are now in a different location. 
Workers are completing the new roof on the kitchen. 
New duct work has been installed in the kitchen. 
This is the entrance to the end of the new hallway closest to Mary Queen.  All of the rooms are now covered as they complete the roofing process. 

This is the view from the end of the new hallway. 

The new window frames are being installed.  They are tan vinyl. 

This is a view of the front of the building.  About half of the front window frames were installed. 

This is the back wall that faces the gazebo area.  The solid wall (formerly the tertiary exit that was by the wrought iron fence) is where the restrooms and mechanical rooms are located.
