The building roof is now fully covered, and the exterior fiberglass continues progressing around the building. All 3 staircases have been installed in the building, making access to the 2nd floor easier. The 110th and final geothermal well was completed during the last week of April. We are all so impressed with the progress of the construction. Thank you, Tiger/Pearson, for all you do!

Here's what it looks like on site:
