Construction Update – Week of June 8

This week has been stressful! We had an electrical inspection on Monday (passed). Building inspection on Tuesday (allowed access to a couple areas). We are still needing a visit from the health department. And, on top of that, staff are showing up. In fact, summer staff orientation starts on Saturday!

In the building lots of progress has happened. Wall finishes are going on. Fire alarm has been completed. The kitchen is almost entirely set up (and is now being clean). Final grading and seeding has happened everywhere. Porch railings are being installed. The boiler is supposed to come on line Friday.

And yet, there is still lots to do. Some lighting fixtures have to be installed and there is plenty of finish carpentry to do. And of course after that, the upstairs has to be finished, chimney installed, big garage doors and wood boiler installed, climbing wall built and some other things. But, we are headed toward completion on phase 1 and that feels good.

Construction Update – week of May 23:

It’s been a busy week at BBC! The work didn’t take a Memorial Day Holiday – instead Dale Snader of Dale’s Homes led a group from Taftsville Mennonite Chapel to rake and seed the property. Grass is already starting to grow. Another electrical crew from PA arrived to make sure we have lights, electric and meet the fire codes. Thanks to Harold Bergey, Will Bergey, Robert Frederick and Andy Bird for giving their time! Larry Derstine, Ken Hershey and Roy Snell volunteered alongside the crew of Jenne Construction to keep going on the finishing touches including putting doors in the mudroom! Vermont Protective Coatings sealed the kitchen floor and Joanne, Scott and others kept the painting process moving. Martin Excavating was here smoothing out the East Side Bank and dumping stone around the pavilion. The most exciting part of the week – putting the bell in it’s new home!!

Pavi Construction Update Week of Mar. 2:

Weather is getting better! Today (tues.) being town meeting day meant very few people on site. Happy Birthday to Jerry (of Jenne construction) and a big thanks to Rich Landis and Nanuk for putting a full day in today.

This week brings more heating system work, framing the mudroom, blocking in the walls and the beginning of siding staining. A big thanks to Fred Schlabach and Paul Derksen for putting in windows yesterday. Most of the windows are in now which is very exciting.

Volunteer opportunities for the very near future include mudroom framing (skilled), radiant tubing help (un-skilled) and siding staining (un-skilled). Contact Amber (802-672-5220) to help.
