The tortoise progresses!






Slow, but sure, wins the race. We're not to the finish line yet but we're getting closer. Here are pictures from September 21.
Picture one shows the new kitchen and the new community room via the serving pass-through. There are doors to close off the pass-through.
Picture two is taken in the community room. The ceiling tiles are now installed. The serving counter and doors for the pass-through are visible.
Picture three shows the "road" that was built to allow the lift truck to get into the courtyard through the mud. In case you ever need such a road, wood panels are available from rental companies.
Picture four shows the walkway railings installed in the east apartment building.
Picture five shows the painted community room building and the sidewalk that has been poured. The sidewalk leads off to the right to the back parking lot. Eventually the new, north parking lot will be installed where Building A (apartments 1-8) currently sits (in background of picture). Building A is now vacant except for office.
