The Work Outside Progresses Just as Quickly

I wanted to show you how the brickwork is coming along.  It won't be too many days before their finished!

This first photo shows the crew working on the top level.  The tractor is lifing the bricks up to the men.

As you can see in this photo, the brickwork on most of the south side of the new building is nearly completed.

This photo shows the south west corner of the new construction.  The crew is still working on the west side:

This is a great photo showing the large piles of bricks being used!

This is the north side of the building.  The work has just started here, but is moving very quickly:

The construction team has done an excellent job in matching the new brick to the older brick of the existing library.  I don't think anyone will be able to tell the difference between them once the work is done!

Starting the Brickwork

Even though it was a cold and cloudy day, the construction crew got working on the exterior brickwork today.  Loads of bricks were brought in, and scaffolding went up all around the exterior. 

Heres a photo of the bricks being brought in with a tractor:

These next few photos show the scaffolding around the building, and the brickwork being done.

You can tell from these photos how great the new brickwork is going to look! They've done a fantastic job in finding brick that matches the existing building.  Once its finished, the new addition will blend in perfectly with the older, existing library.
