Dear Friends,<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
In spite of the unexpected snowy Wisconsin conditions, construction continues on Ishwar Ji\u2019s dera Meeting Hall.<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
This week, workers poured another 47 cubic yards of concrete for half of the foundation walls. The second half will be poured as soon as the weather warms up next week.<\/span><\/div>\n
You can see the building site live on ISHA\u2019s DeraCam. Go to the ISHA website to watch:  https:\/\/dera.ishanews.org\/current_weather_and_deracam\/<\/a><\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n

Here, the concrete footings are ready to support the forms to be built for the foundation walls.<\/span>

 <\/div>\n
Workers have now erected the reinforced wooden forms that will hold the walls.<\/span><\/div>\n

 <\/div>\n
Snow began lightly falling as the pumper truck and the cement trucks arrived.<\/span><\/div>\n

Pumping the concrete allows the workmen to fill the forms quickly and efficiently.<\/span><\/div>\n

 <\/div>\n
After the forms are filled, the upper surface is troweled to a smooth finish.<\/span><\/div>\n
\"7<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
The next day, the crew begins to remove the forms, revealing the foundation of Ishwar\u2019s dera Meeting Hall!  <\/span><\/div>\n
\"8<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
By the end of the day, the west and north sides of the building have walls. The east and south walls will be poured next.<\/span><\/div>\n
