Recent rainfall has led to delays on some exterior work, including the stonework and the footings for the garden wall, canopies, and playground wall. Despite delays, progress continues to advance inside Joy’s House. The stairs have been poured as well as the Gypcrete flooring on the second and third floors. Drywall installation has been completed in the residential and community blocks of the shelter, and the rated ceilings in the central stairway have passed inspection. Tubs and drains have been installed, and the drains have been connected, with pipes now insulated to ensure proper functionality. Installation of the HVAC system is ongoing, with ductwork, air handlers, drain piping, and line sets being put in place to ensure efficient heating and cooling throughout the building.
