Well Hello, I have been a wee bit neglectful to this Blog.  I hope I can bring you all up to speed with this single post.  Due to snow I did not go outside to get images so you will have to suffer inside shots.  The road to the dock continues and we should be expecting the foundation for the shore side facility to be placed in the next week or so.  The exterior of the buildings is progressing (you will have to trust me, since I have no images today).

Lets start in Building B (OBCC)

 

 Racks for the IDF room are being installed, data lines have already been pulled

 Above head utilities run down the service corridor to supply both Bldg B and C hot and chilled water

 Work in Building B is moving fast.  

The second floor already has drywall, while the first floor is being framed.

Now that the scientists have more room to grow in, they are quick to fill in the extra room with new equipment.  Mike and Willie unpacking a new hood
