Check out these pictures of the framing progress on the Centerhouse. The crew has been working hard at the side walls as well as the front wall. This past week has brought the arrival of the SIP panels [which stands for Structural Insulated Panels] to the Fill Site. The 4′ x 20′ panels will make up the roof structure of the building. This upcoming week, the crew will be bringing in the exterior posts for the building. The arrival of these posts will start the deck construction. The posts will also provide support for the trusses which are scheduled to arrive Monday the 21st.

The crew has been hard at work setting beams and framing walls. On Wednesday, they will be bringing in a crane to set the rest of the beams for the floor.
