| With the floors
poured at the beginning of January, work was steady through the
winter. Eventually in April our cold difficult weather finally broke
and the wrapping was removed from the building. Following that the
roof was secured and the skylights and gables constructed. Some of
those photos have misplaced at this time, when they are found, they will
be posted. In the meantime, as of May 1st, the following pictures are photos from
this stage of our construction.
