Well, it did not take the graffiti people long....

A brand new blank wall......

A good Bible verse......

A good marker pen.....

It was an opportunity too tempting!








Some of the more shallow foundation trenches are being dug and filled. In the background you can see a narrow, shallow band of concrete. But in front of that is a much deeper, wider pit where a support column will anchor. This pit will be the large concrete base for this support column.






On the right side, forms for more vertical walls are being set. On the left side, foundation footings are being dug and filled. Busy place!






The south foundation wall should be complete by the end of this week. The last section being formed is adjacent to the Ministry Center Building. This section is a little complicated because it will have an interior stairwell which must be totally enclosed for fire safety reasons.





Once the forms are set in place, a concrete pumping truck is brought in.
Concrete trucks feed the concrete into the pumping truck, and the concrete shoots through the hose attached to the extended arm to the top of the wall. Workers guide the nozzle to fill in all the spaces.

If luck holds, we are looking for a crane and delivery of steel beams during the week of April 16!!!
