The steel workers started putting up roof trusses yesterday (May 14, 2009) and by the end of the day had put up the three main joists. Today they are supposed to be putting up the large truss that connects the two classroom buildings together on the second floor.

There's only three weeks of school left so I hope they continue their breakneck speed. I won't be around much after June 3.

This photo looks down on what used to be the faculty parking lot. It will be the new cafeteria/commons area when the dust finally clears...in the fall of 2010. The shot is from the boys bathroom on the second floor on the south end of the building.

OK, I know I haven't sent anything for a long time. Sorry. Here is a picture taken last Friday of the new building progress. We are supposed to move in on August 1. Hmmm...
What do you think? I am going out tomorrow to the SECOND FLOOR to take some more pictures, so I'll post some of those.

First snowfall.

We got our first snowfall of the year
Sunday afternoon. It only snowed about two inches, but it's been cold so it stayed around. By Friday it's supposed to be back up around 70 degrees. Ah, the Utah weather.

This photo is of Rob, Kristen and Haylee coming across the parking lot after church. It wasn't snowing when they went to church.

More construction

This is the new softball complex, looking southeast. It is directly south about 15 yards of the baseball diamond. You can see the natatorium in the middle right of the picture. The plan is to lay sod on both the baseball and softball diamonds, but to seed the soccer field. The soccer field will take about 18 months to be ready to play on, while softball and baseball should be ready lin the Spring.

Construction

This is a photo of the new baseball field at Box Elder High School. It is part of the $30 million building project at the school and includes a new softball and soccer field. This picture is taken looking north east from the approximate middle of the old soccer field.
