Here’s a two day update and in fact I need to stop by in the morning to get a few more photos of where they ended up today. Storms rolled in tonight and then I had a dinner engagements. But the building is moving along at a steady clip thanks to the guys from Metal [...]
The steel framing is really coming along and Rebecca got her first look at the new facility. Workers from the Metal Building Associates team installing some of the steel sides. Main beams front to back are in place and the roof spars and being joined up. Worker joining up the roof spars. I’m on the [...]
Well today was the day we’ve been waiting for! The steel has started going up. We can actually see a real building on the site. No more envisioning it, it’s real now! At 7am the steel was a big pile. By the time I got there at 11:30am, they already had outer skeleton standing! Jenny, [...]
Today was a very big step forward in the construction of our new facility. For the first time, we’re building up, rather than tearing down! It all started before dawn with a big concrete pump truck and ended with the delivery of our building! 5:30AM Metal Building Associates have already poured almost half of the [...]
The action has been fast and furious the past week or so as we get ready for a VERY big day tomorrow! If the weather holds up, the Slab will be poured and the building arrives! But first, some of the work that’s been going on at the job site. Here’s a [...]
Today was a real fun day to stop by the job site. Chuck’s Plumbing was there to install all the rough plumbing that goes underground. All this underground stuff obviously has to be completed before the slab is poured. Easier to dig in dirt than cut out concrete! Well I gotta say, Chuck [...]
Now we can really start to see the building in place. Metal Building Associates yesterday laid down the forms that show the outer edges of the building and they dug out the footings. “Time Lapse” view 1 looking back. You can see the right side and back of the building formed up. “Time Lapse” view [...]
Two updates in two days! Well we got a call that there was some dirt being pushed around the site so we ran over to check it out. As I mentioned yesterday, when the team came out to start forming up the slab and dig the footings, they found the pad was cleared just a [...]
It’s been raining quite a bit of late so progress has been a little bit slow at the site. But we still have another 2 weeks or so before the building shows up anyway, so there’s no rush at the moment. Today the crews came out to mark the four corners of the building and [...]
Joe and I headed on over to check out the site again today as we were told the grading is finished. Sure enough, the site looks great! “Time Lapse” position one. You can see the nice flat, level area on the back of the lot where the building will sit. “Time Lapse” position two. Pipes [...]
