Walls growing for new animal shelter building

Work on the new facility for the Saving Grace Pet Adoption Center is Moving ahead nicely and the building is already taking shape.Walls going up for new Animal shelter building Crews were busy Monday afternoon putting up the outside walls of what will be the main office area. Apex Block donated all of the material for the outside wall frames and the large and light design is saving a lot of time. They only weigh 52 pounds apiece, and so, they go up very fast and you don't have to use any mortar between the joints.


It's foamed together, and then it gets grouted after the fact in all the cells, Mathis says using normal concrete blocks for the external walls would have taken an extra week. Saving Grace Executive Director Wendy Kang said that she is just happy to finally see everyone's hard work paying off. "This has been extremely exciting; it's been great to watch every step of the process. We are so happy that this will be our last winter in this old building," said Kang. The new shelter will be very energy well-organized, but more importantly, will cater to the needs of the animals at the shelter.
