West Chimney -- December 8, 2011


Following the removal of the West Chimney both above the roof line and in the Library the contractor was able to demo the south wall of the chimney in the 6th grade classroom. In this shot you see what was the chimney flue and have a good angle on how much space will be added to the classroom. The contractor is working on sprinkler system hookups.



Rebuilding the chimney is well underway. The open side of the chimneys on level 4 are on the library and the art room, or north, side of the chimneys, opposite the openings on all three lower levels.


Workmen bring the cement blocks by hand, either one or two blocks per trip, walking up all four floors via the rear stairwell. They sure do wish the Koné Elevator guys would pick up the pace!
