August 7 The August 7 Field Report from the architects for Southside Library includes the following Work in Progress: "Wall insulation and lath is being put on the building this week. Ducts are being run. Data runs are being installed. Power is being installed. Steel studs are being framed up. Interior walls are being framed. Steel erection at East Portal is underway. The supply and return hot water runs for the heating system are being run. Masons will be working on rock and block at the East Patio. Inspections in walls, ceilings, data, and electrical room for electrical rough-ins will occur this week. Afterwards, they will begin the insulation installation." Steel studs are being framed up. Interior walls are being framed.
We've read some of these items before, processes which can't be accomplished in a day, or a week. But we're still hoping for a December opening, which would make it 15 months from Groundbreaking. Not bad at all.

Masons will be working on rock and block at the East Patio. Contractor has been installing backing for equipment in bathrooms and various locations within the building. 'Data runs', that we understand (yaay--the computers will need to be the first things in so that we can inventory those 80,000 items as they come in the door.) But, 'Z-furring'? Now, that's a mystery detail. :-)
