Interior walls going up in Fairbank

Work continues on both interior and exterior walls in Fairbank. Since we last posted, a good deal more of the floor has been poured, and the exterior brick has been going up on the gymnasium walls. (The gym walls are the area of the building that are exceedingly higher than the rest of the building.) As you may know, the sites have been fairly muddy, and a great question was asked this past week about the depth of the geo-thermal wells that are on the east side of the site. With all the traffic on that part of the site, what is to prevent damage to those wells? In answer to that question, it is important to know that, depending on their position on the site, those wells have been connected to one another between 6-10 feet below the ground. That provides a considerable barrier between the truck traffic and the wells themselves. Thanks to the local resident for asking the question. It's a good one. As you can see from the video, the walls to the corridor are going up in the northwestern portion of the building. Sunny days help construction and field work and I'm sure all of northeast Iowa is happy to see the sun. Keep it coming.
