To help delivery personnel back their vehicles into the basement ramp safely, we added a couple of feet to the width of the ramp near the door.

This meant demolishing the old retaining wall and building a new one.  It was a muddy and long process, but the new wall is in now.

Soon the concrete will be poured for the ramp.  With this project in progress and the elevator out of order because of replacement, all deliveries to the kitchen are made step by step – all 14 of them!

The work crews have begun to raise the floor at one end of the hallway that runs along our refectory (above) so that it will be level with the connecting halls.

The floor in the community’s new service room (mail drawers, office supplies, etc.) has already been raised.  Now the hall will be even with it as well.  The rise will be a more gentle incline for those who need help moving between the different areas of first floor.

Here at the west end of the refectory hall (above), you can see the beginnings of a ramp that will meet the new library floor without much variance.  This is a very good thing!
