Rebar Installed on Second Floor & Work Begins on Third Floor

Work on the Superstructure is swiftly moving along. The installation of the rebar on the 2nd floor is nearly finished. Concrete will be poured over the rebar, and this step will probably be finished by next week.

Scaffolding installation has started for the 3rd floor. This gallery of photographs depicts the 2nd floor rebar work and the early work on the 3rd floor. Click the link below to view the photographs.

1st Truman Construction Site Panorama--Warning!!!

Warning! Warning! Warning! :-) :-) :-)

By photography standards this is a REALLY BAD panorama, but I've posted it here to give you an idea of the progress so far.

What should impress you, however, is the amount of work completed in roughly two weeks. So, if you see construction workers about campus, introduce yourself and say thanks for their speed and skill. Click the link below to view the panorama.
