The exterior brickwork will be completed in approximately 10 days. The next exterior phase of the construction will be the installation of the metal roof system. At the present time, heater humidifier units are operating around the clock in the interior to reduce the moisture content of the wood framing. Nearly five gallons of water are eliminated both morning and evening. Exterior masonry detail.

Drying Out - Mar. 19, 2006 (Wilsonville) - With roofing felt in place and plastic covering the windows, the new ODA building is currently "drying out." Humidifier heating units have been installed to lower the moisture content in the exterior wood framing. Internal metal stud walls are also in place. The drying process is scheduled to take a minimum of three weeks. During this time, the exterior masonry will be applied and the metal roof installed.

Topping Out - Mar. 13, 2006 (Wilsonville) - Crews marked the completion of the wood framing of the Wilsonville headquarters by installing a small fir tree atop the roof. According to Dave Watson of , the tree signals to the other trades that their work may now begin. The 'topping-out' ceremony traces its roots back to Germany and the lower Scandinavian countries. The tree also signifies that the highest and last piece of structural framework has been placed.

Sheathing - Mar. 8, 2006 (Wilsonville) - Crews began installing roof sheathing the week of March 6 at the site of the new Wilsonville headquarters building.

The 'Big Check' - Dec. 9, 2005 (Wilsonville) - ODA President Weston W. Heringer, Jr., DMD gratefully accepted a $500,000 check donated by The ODS Companies during the Executive Committee's December 9, 2005 meeting. "Thank you very much for everything you do for the Oregon Dental Association," Heringer said. "We truly do appreciate it." President and CEO Robert G. Gootee and Board Chair Michael L. McKeel, DMD offered the funds on behalf of the ODS Board of Directors. Gootee explained that the money was earmarked to offset the increased costs of materials that had recently weighed down the ODA's Wilsonville building project. "We want this building to represent the dental professional with pride," said Gootee. "We didn't want the price of cement and steel to compromise your vision." According to Project Manager David Aaroe of Fortis Construction, the increases in cement and steel prices were caused in large part by overseas construction projects--specifically in China--acquiring 82 percent of those materials produced in the U.S. Meanwhile, Hurricanes Katrina and Rita and the additional fill material needed to stabilize the building site were also factors in the cost overruns.
