CONSTRUCTION UPDATE: We Have Forms
Crews were onsite over the past week installing the forms for the basement walls. Concrete is expected to be poured in the next few days.
Once the walls are poured, the concrete will need to site for at least 10-days to cure. Once cured, the forms will be removed and back-fill pushed into and around the foundation.
It’s really starting to look like a Library.
