This shows all of the steel studs with a little of the wood reinforcement before they put up any sheetrock.
Here is the best picture showing the building as of today. This picture is right inside the entry showing the corridor and the two "public bathrooms".
There have been lots of subcontractors doing plumbing, electricity, mechanical (heating and air conditioning) and drywall all at the same time. 
Because it is very difficult to attach anything to walls with steel studs, I had to tell them everywhere I wanted to hang things so they could reinforce it with wood before the sheetrock went in. That took a lot of time and planning and I am sure I missed a lot of things. I told them that I have been in my present building for over 13 years and I am still making changes and adding shelves, etc. to the walls. I wish the studs were wood instead of metal. Hopefully we can figure out a way to make the steel studs hold. 
The duct work for the mechanical is almost completed. They are now wrapping all of the ducts with another type of insulation. There is a lot more to building a steel building than I could have imagined. 
The dry wall is up in all of the rooms except the bathrooms and the kitchen. They had to have the plumbing and electrical work inspected before they could continue. They have also been sanding down the seams of the concrete floor to get it ready for floor coverings after the painting and drywall. They also finally installed locks on all of the doors so the building is more secure now. That big black hose is a portable heater that they are heating the building with while they are working. The temperature was in the single digits last week.
