Here are some pics of the addition going up:






The masons have their mortar delivered to them via heavy machinery--in large tubs. The machine to the left is setting the tub on the scaffolding for the mason. Pretty cool and no one gets hurt, except possibly the librarian who may or may not get out of the way fast enough. I did, though it took me a minute to realize it wasn't chasing me. And they say libraries are quiet, possibly boring places!



Here is the framework for our roof! Rivet guns are involved, and it is a little noisy.



So there you have the progress report for the addition. Now for the fun part! Answer this question, and win a fabulous prize or two!

How many bricks were ordered for this project? The contest will be open through out the weekend. The closest guess submitted by 9 AM Monday morning will win--this will give everyone an opportunity to guess. Please share this contest with your staff who may not have access to email or the blog on a regular basis.

And no fair asking the contractor. He will tell me.

Cheers,
Melody
