The Building of Russo Park at Louisiana

Started the exterior on the grandstand structure. Putting up the yellow fiberglass panels

I'm guessing the brick layers will begin working soon also.

Same stage as Southside High. Just mention that because Lemoine is on both projects.

I wonder if they are doing the roof as well. Can't really see but there are guys up there and I know they have that occurring around the same time as the exterior on the previous schedule

Yeah, drove by there a few days ago. That is going to be a big school.

And from what I recall, current classrooms being constructed will only be for Freshmen and Sophomores. The other 2 grades to follow.

FYI if you click onto the photos you can move around once inside to get a 360 view.

----Man---just got a thrill as the National Anthem was finished playing and the "Batter up" called and I am on the mound or anywhere in the field looking in at a totally packed all red crowd----WOW!!! (notice the photo from the outfield)???

Does anyone have a reason as to why the over hang isn't symmetrical? It's throwing me off.

If I had to guess, maybe they couldn't make the 3rd base side of the main grandstand structure go further due to the proximity of the existing clubhouse. So it couldn't go a ways behind the metal bleachers like the 1st base side does. They can probably integrate the clubhouse with the walkway that's behind the metal bleachers/over the clubhouse easier than they could if they were trying to put it as part of the grandstand

I dont know much about construction but it looks like they are absolutely flying with the progress now. They have work going on at every part of the project. Heres to continued good weather for 2 more months!

They have started to install the GP Dens Glass, this is a commercial exterior sheathing product. Once they start installing this, the camera will be tough to see the work being done except to the exterior of the building.

This is a good sign, because once the entire structure has the exterior sheathing on it, they can begin to work on much of the interior of the structure, which weather will not effect as much.
