John Booe is presently back on site to finish up some remaining metal work that will allow for the completion of the interior [...]
The rain has stopped, the sun is out, and there is already a lot of action at the job site. Augustine and Alejandro were back up on the roof setting trusses while Will finished fastening the interior walls.
