Spetember 20th Update

The progress of this week has been a significant effort to put in place the rebar reinforcement for the exterior walls.  If you look close in the picture towards the east and south walls or the walls to the left of the picture where the "Manlift" is you can see the rebar attached to the walls.  They are putting a significant effort into strengthening the walls so that they will hold the new roof and last for a significant time.  They have started to excavate to the east of the Nu Skin building to start to contruct the driveway to the underground parking.  Those of you that attended the Utah County multi Stake conference heard Elder Walker say that the projected Dedication date is in 2015.  To restore the building will be a long and drawn out process.

Progress Sept. 11, 2012

Here is a picture of the progress on the Temple.  They are spending a considerable amout of time adding support and structural strength to the existing exterior walls.  I have watched them lift a significant amount of rebar and put it in place as support.  They have started to excavate just to the east of the Nu Skin highrise to start to prepare for the enterance to the future underground parking structure.  Nu Skin has sped up the progress of building a new parking structure on the corner of 1st South and 2nd West so that the current parking structure to the south of our building and west of the Temple can be demoalished to allow for the underground parking. Currently the annex between the parking and our building has been removed.  I will keep you posted as I see any major developments.
