This existing building is being renovated to become an active structure at the Tom Nunnally Sewing Center. As more students are enrolled at the sewing school, more space and more machines are needed. One machine costs US$160.
The existing building had been empty, waiting for a need to become apparent. It is part of the Sewing Center complex.
The work to enlarge the sewing center started Nov. 1 with the door being changed.
This is the progress as of Nov 9. New door and window added.
Moving sand and stones used in the construction is done with wheelbarrows and muscle. Outside, the space needs to be secured with a retaining wall and fences for safety.
Inside demolition
New walls, windows, and ceiling. Painting in process.
This photo is from Nov. 20. What a difference 20 days make!
Finished classroom. Blackboard included. Now for machines and students.
