Door-table: Get a Piece of BSM.

Feeling nostalgic for the old BSM house? Wish that this week you could go there and do nothing between your classes? Well, we can do much for your work schedule but we can help scratch a BSM attachment itch. You could have a piece of BSM. Specifically, a door. 

This is one of the old doors from BSM. They are solid wood, 6 panel doors for the early 1930's. What will you do with one of these things? Well maybe you could make a table.

Here is a finished door-table. A few coats of paint, some stenciled words, a few coats of poly and presto-changeo you have yourself a table. The legs are from IKEA. You have a memory from BSM with which you can make new memories. Did you ever live up stairs? You might want Your Door. We are accepting donations now for the door of your choice.

We have lots of door left. 

 What will you do with your door.

Next week you get to see what we did with a cabinet door. 

Whats in a name?

Letters on the building. Going Legit. 

Doors. Finally they are here.

This is a typical interior door. It gates one of the two small group rooms.

These are the new front doors. Don't think anyone will be knocking their first time there. 

Drywall!!

In just over a week the entire facility was drywalled. 

Impressed with how fast some of the contractors work.

Main room entering from west side.

Main room looking toward will a small stage will be. 120-140 can squeeze in here

Outside and in.

The front brick is going up. We have collected extras to give to our alumni at the homecoming event this July 28th.

Front brick is finished and the sides are complete. This is the finished exterior. It is what students from Rodney and Dickinson Halls will see as they go to class.

Electrical is all run. Waiting on drywall and paint before final switches are connected and the circuits installed

Insulation is in. It is already much warmer and quieter in here.

Fire suppression complete.

Roof, windows, and wrap.

We are now 2 months ahead of the build schedule. Great weather and great workers = big building real soon. So exciting to see the place take shape. I can imagine the 2012 Rodney/Dickenson freshmen walking by (and hopefully in).
Why did I ever doubt this would be a good idea. Look like we have an entrance. The brick will begin in a few weeks and then the place will look slammin'. (say i to the ugly pole)
This pic really gives some perspective of how big the building is. It is over twice the space we had before, though it is all functional. Max height 35'.

Framing (like a month ago)

The BSM construction is moving right along. In the pics below you can see the first floor in being framed. I met the framing crew. They are Amish. They were fun to talk to and very quick workers. In fact, I was not able to get a picture on the 2nd floor framing because they finished in in a matter of days. And you will see in the next post the place is going up fast.

That Utility pole is really an eyesore now.
