November 2018

 

Above average precipitation did have a slight impact on the schedule, rain occurred on ten working days of the project.  East and West parking areas were excavated and backfilled.

National Grid is in the process of scheduling installation of the electric service. Framing continued this month with the vestibule roof, interior wall framing, anchoring at shear walls and installation of blocking. The contractor installed shingles to the field of the slope roof.
