1 00:00:03,089 --> 00:00:04,922 The installation of the exterior 2 00:00:04,922 --> 00:00:06,867 cladding panels as well as the dal 3 00:00:06,867 --> 00:00:09,033 devour , which is commonly referred to 4 00:00:09,033 --> 00:00:11,033 as stained glass , means that we've 5 00:00:11,033 --> 00:00:14,439 transitioned to restoring the exterior 6 00:00:14,439 --> 00:00:16,879 appearance of this architectural and 7 00:00:16,879 --> 00:00:19,670 spiritual icon that the cadets , the 8 00:00:19,670 --> 00:00:21,837 alumni , the local community , and the 9 00:00:21,837 --> 00:00:24,000 nation have come to expect . The next 10 00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:26,111 step for the cladding and the stained 11 00:00:26,111 --> 00:00:29,430 glass is to Proceed around different 12 00:00:29,430 --> 00:00:32,509 zones as we install the waterproof 13 00:00:32,509 --> 00:00:34,731 barrier , the water resistant barrier . 14 00:00:35,029 --> 00:00:37,140 The cladding and the stained glass go 15 00:00:37,140 --> 00:00:39,362 in and around those structures , and so 16 00:00:39,362 --> 00:00:41,418 we'll be doing that in phases around 17 00:00:41,418 --> 00:00:43,529 the facility . These are the original 18 00:00:43,529 --> 00:00:45,529 stained glass panels , and a lot of 19 00:00:45,529 --> 00:00:47,640 times people refer to them as stained 20 00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:49,696 glass . They're not actually stained 21 00:00:49,696 --> 00:00:51,751 glass . They're dal dever , which is 22 00:00:51,751 --> 00:00:53,973 just a French term for slabs of glass . 23 00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:56,207 What's unique about these is typically 24 00:00:56,207 --> 00:00:58,709 dal dever is set in an epoxy with sand . 25 00:00:59,119 --> 00:01:01,119 These panels are actually set in an 26 00:01:01,119 --> 00:01:03,175 aluminum casing , which is unique to 27 00:01:03,175 --> 00:01:05,008 this project . We did this glass 28 00:01:05,008 --> 00:01:07,286 originally in the early 60s , you know , 29 00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:11,230 manufactured these panels with 30 00:01:11,339 --> 00:01:14,900 Blanco glass , and installed them here 31 00:01:15,110 --> 00:01:17,319 at the chapel , and I think we're 32 00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:19,569 really Grateful and honored to be able 33 00:01:19,569 --> 00:01:21,347 to come back and be part of the 34 00:01:21,347 --> 00:01:23,458 restoration again to handle the glass 35 00:01:23,458 --> 00:01:25,680 that we originally provided . Before we 36 00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:27,402 got to this point , we started 37 00:01:27,402 --> 00:01:29,449 installing the weather barrier . We 38 00:01:29,449 --> 00:01:31,449 called them WRP's weather resistant 39 00:01:31,449 --> 00:01:33,930 panels . It's an insulated sandwich 40 00:01:33,930 --> 00:01:36,489 panel that truly creates the water 41 00:01:36,489 --> 00:01:39,059 barrier on the building . The cladding 42 00:01:39,059 --> 00:01:41,260 panel or the finish panel that's going 43 00:01:41,260 --> 00:01:43,316 up is more like a rain screen . It's 44 00:01:43,316 --> 00:01:46,139 there to help shed water , but it can 45 00:01:46,139 --> 00:01:48,250 allow water through the system . It's 46 00:01:48,250 --> 00:01:50,361 the panel in the back is the one that 47 00:01:50,361 --> 00:01:52,472 keeps the water out of the building , 48 00:01:52,472 --> 00:01:54,417 and we have water tested our first 49 00:01:54,417 --> 00:01:56,417 section to make sure that we had no 50 00:01:56,417 --> 00:01:58,472 leaks . The Air Force Civil Engineer 51 00:01:58,472 --> 00:02:00,472 Center , the Air Force Installation 52 00:02:00,472 --> 00:02:02,695 Contracting Center , along with our UAA 53 00:02:02,695 --> 00:02:04,861 and industry partners are committed to 54 00:02:04,861 --> 00:02:06,972 getting this done right . Although we 55 00:02:06,972 --> 00:02:09,028 face our share of challenges . We've 56 00:02:09,028 --> 00:02:10,972 overcome the major hurdles and are 57 00:02:10,972 --> 00:02:13,199 making significant progress as we pass 58 00:02:13,199 --> 00:02:14,699 through these latest milestones .
