We've got lumber and cement blocks!
















Lumber is arriving on the site and soon we'll see walls going up. Meanwhile a tower of cement blocks is being made. It's the elevator shaft. As shown, it's about two stories tall. It is located at the north end of the west four story building. The community room/office building will be north of the elevator. Office volunteers are able to watch the progress out the office window as they report to work each week.
