The wall is being installed at the border of the north warehouse.

The first cone tank is positioned. All will be in today.

Notes:
* The break room is painted.
* A security fence is being installed at the north warehouse to the north property fence.

The hoist structure is going up but taking a little longer than expected.

The electrical is coming along nicely.

The Crystallizer is complete and is being painted today! The ladder and hand railing will be assembled once it's set in it's place.

New water service being brought to the building.

 

Ground work for the sign beginning.

The left side of this photo shows our new and surprisingly expensive gas service.  

 The plumbing is complete up to the point indoors where it reaches the anodizing line.  

Cerami needs to clean up.

The photo below shows where the new gas line heads south and then up the building.

The below photo shows a close up of the finished work.

The two photos below show where the gas line runs to the street and the where it reaches the street.  The paving job looks OK.  There is a small mess at the curb that I'm sure Cerami will clean up in a week or two. Cerami really has his hands full right now with all the contractors and equipment installation.

Jason and Dave are both very busy.  Updating the blog seems like a good way for me to help.

The big process solution tank came to rest next to the DMP since my last post!

The electricians are focused on energizing the equipment.  Here they are working on 

one of the make-up air units.  The lighting has to wait.

Here are two welders working simultaneously on the crane.

And turning to the exterior...

Cerami plans to pave where the guard shack and gate used to be.

Below is the handicapped path where it enters Caterpillar Rd.

Lastly, here's my new puppy!  

We just adopted her last weekend from the Humane Society. 

Isn't she great? 

Penn here, making a guest appearance on the Redding blog.  There are five or six contractors working today, so this place is a beehive of activity!

Below are the photos I took this morning from my cellphone.

Electricians pulling cable.

Dry walling near northeast door

Pivoted 180 degrees from where I photographed the electricians to show the equipment lined up against the south wall.

Josh Berris supervising the assembly of the DMP waste water treatment equipment.

Steel work continues

Cerami has four large lifts working on the project.

Dry walling and painting the north wall.  They appear to be 1/3 of the way done, and they are moving west down the north wall.

Boiler modification to 15 psi for unattended operation continues.

Painting the restroom.

Installing the liners for a water test.  Note Tom Enis at the controls of the Hubtex.

They are nearly finished working on the crystalizer next door.
