The corners have already been built. It was very exciting to watch 50 cubic yards of concrete (that's five giant cement mixer trucks worth) flow in to the new building. Much care was taken with the floor drains, levels and textures. After a couple days to cure, sand and plywood will be laid down inside the walls to prevent any damage to the new floor. Then, masons will raise the remainder of the walls.
After the walls come the roof trusses and the roof system.
Pouring this slab was a major milestone, coming only after much thinking and hard work, and many county inspections of the foundation, plumbing and electrical work underneath. Of course hurdles still remain, but we are all very happy with the progress this week.

nice slab, man
Does anyone think that they will finish on time? I'm worried.
Yes! We are still confident that the contractor will finish on time. The schedule calls on them to finish a month early. We might not make that, but the board talked about this on 3/4 and we are not worried about opening on time. We will undoubtedly need some help from the membership to tend to some of the aesthetic issues -- such as plantings and final touch-ups. But we're feeling comfortable that the pool will open Memorial Day.
