Thoughts from Benton Hyatt with Frost Bank: "On Saturday, April 10th, ALC guys and gals rallied together again for the 3rd official workday on Champion City. Before the team meeting, the ceiling tiles were delivered and several ALC guys hauled the tiles down to Champion City. After the team meeting, individual teams were formed consisting of essentially two teams: ceiling tile cutters/droppers and drywall/plaster sanders and primers. After a brief demonstration and training session for the ceiling tile guys, everyone broke for lunch provided by Frost Bank. By the end of the day, progress had really taken shape in Champion City. All nonstandard ceiling tiles were measured, cut and dropped by the highly skilled and efficient team. The team ran out of day light about the time that sprinkler tiles were to be measured and installed, though the team made time to tackle a few before closing down shop for the day. Plaster and drywall were sanded down with precision and a great start to priming was completed by the end of the day. Thanks to everyone who volunteered this past Saturday!"
Perspectives from Gerry Hedgecock with Crow Holdings (pictured below): "Two weeks in, and things are moving! It’s been really fun watching the project take shape on nearly a daily basis. Old ceiling tiles, cabinets, and cracked windows have now all been removed or replaced. Buzz saws, nail guns, sanders, and drywall “trowels” are everywhere you turn. It seems like mass chaos, but Layne and Aaron are pointing us all in the right direction and making sure we leave the site covered in sweat every day. It has been an incredible experience so far, not only by sharing time with our classmates but knowing how this is going to impact the surrounding area. I can’t wait to see the final product!"
