The masonry is all done now. The
walls are high enough to support the steel
beams that will in turn support the roof.
The building takes on a very foreboding
"fortress," look for now. The steel
workers will return next week to begin
installing the roof beams, and stairways.
East and North views. The various
square, and rectangular holes shown in the
left picture are the entry ports for the
antenna transmission feed lines that will
connect to the new and old tower.
West and South views.. The dual double
doors shown in the left photo will lead
directly into the OPB/ KINK transmitter
suite. The black area on the lower portion of
the building is a special plastic material
with a porous cloth covering that will aid the
draining of water away from the walls.
South and East views.. For a perspective
of size, that's project Foreman
Roy Terry in the right photo.
