The HVAC, installed and under wraps.
Interior Ductwork - this central line originates from the rooftop HVAC, and disappears to the plenum under the floor. From there, warm and cool air will circulate through the building via the sub-floor duct system.
This tangential duct originates from the Transpired Solar Collector Wall, located on the south side of the building. During the winter months, accumulated heat will travel from the Collector Wall to the HVAC system, reducing the workload of the heating system. This results in lower energy useage.
Construction site humor.

Big Snow!

Electrical Transformer is In!

Jaynes Company has been working with Empire Electric, and the transformer has now been installed!

What a turn-around - Empire Park, the property that used to be owned by Empire Electric is now owned by the Mancos Public Library; we're building, and we now need Empire's services!

Preparing for Footing Walls

The foundation footings of the new library have been completed, and Jaynes Construction is now installing rebar and preparing to pour the footing walls. These walls are scheduled (weather permitting) to be poured this Friday, 10 October.

Construction has Officially Begun

The lot has been cleared, and footers formed! This week, the Jaynes Corp. has been pouring the footers.

Clean Out the Old and Usher In the New

The Jaynes Company has started preparations for building! The building site is being cleared of debris, and there is now a fence around the site.

Construction, At Last

The Jaynes Company, the contractor of the new library, has moved to the building site and will start construction soon!

You'll also find things a bit different at our current location; we've added new display space at the library entrance. Rotating exhibits will feature books, magazines, and videos for all ages. This month's exhibit is "Green Building and Construction". Visit the library to see some examples of our new building, information on green building, and construction in general.
