This is Copula Week!

Week 8 of 18 Weeks!
Take a look at the photos in this blog. Can you tell what these structures are shaping up to be? They are three custom built Cupolas that will decorate the roof and bring about a nautical, coastal appearance. The metal roof will arrive next week, After the roof is placed, the Cupolas will be placed on top. We are now in the eighth week of construction. The building is soon to be dry-ed in and the inside work will commence.

We continue to work on the Capital Campaign allowing businesses and individuals to put their mark on the inner rooms and exhibits throughout the building. To date we have had more than $24,000 contributed towards the project. Businesses and individuals are not just making donations. They are choosing to advertise their business or attraction in the facility. If you are interested in doing this also or helping with the project, please email us at president@1rockport.org.

Silver Metal Roof Is On Its Way!



Week 7 of 18 Weeks
This week workers have been working on Windstorm tiedown requirements. The windows have been installed. The glass "impact" doors for entry into the Visitor Center have also been installed.

At the Chamber Luncheon, many of you heard how you can be involved in the project either through sponsorship or serving on the Interior Team. Watch your emails on how you can be involved.

For a pictorial update, take a look at the photos below...

Life is good!

Week 6 - Building Blog

We are nearly complete with structural framing and windstorm certification. We will be installing plywood roofs this week and drying in so next week mechanical subcontractors can start work. We will be installing windows and doors shortly. We will then resume the Hardie siding and trimming.


Again, if you want to be involved in this project in terms of the inside furnishings, exhibits, displays, please contact president@1rockport.org.
