Coupeville Library Expansion -- Week 19

The Library is moving rapidly into the "finishing" stage and each week sees exciting new changes. External siding is nearly complete, the floor has been sealed, some floor tile and wall tile in the bathrooms has already been installed, the book drops have been installed, and the fireplace has been installed. Some cabinets will arrive next week. Below are some recent photos showing the progress.

Siding of the south side of the Library has been completed. Finishing touches remain to be done.

This photo shows some of the new tile being installed in one of the bathrooms.

Floor tile has been installed in the entry from the rear of the building. The tile are about 4 inch by 12 inch in size and seem perfect for this entry.


The book drops have been installed. Only the trim remains to be completed.



The fireplace was installed last week. It is located in the adult reading room.




These curved panels will form the ceiling in the adult reading room. They will not only be impressive in appearance but will also provide acoustical sound deadening in the room.



Darren and Ken keep the project moving. They ALWAYS have the answer to our questions and organize the activities each week. They are our contacts with Faber Construction.

Coupeville Library Expansion -- Week 17

Another week of progress at the Library. The right front window in the adult reading room has finally been installed after delays in getting some of the need framing. All the windows are now in place. Sheet rock installation and finishing was also completed during the week and interior painting was to begin on Friday. Additional outside siding was installed on the east side of the building. Next week we should see installation of the fireplace and the airconditioning units. Following are some photos showing progress.


The right side front window has been installed. Window installation is now complete.



This photo shows the handicap approach to the front entry. When the walkway is complete, it will be a near level entrance to the library. Note also that siding has been added on this side of the building.


Wires, Cables, Wires everywhere! This is a nearly completed power panel in the building.



Her is Leslie's new office! Note the sheetrock walls are now completed and finished. Painting will be completed next weeks and some of the initial cabinet work can begin.
