The Grading company surprised me. They went in over the weekend and installed the storm pipes and manholes. I guess they saw that the weather is going to be a bit wet today and tomorrow so they went in to get it done before the rains came. If I had known I definitely would have [...]
With the holiday weekend, there wasn’t a whole lot going on last week with the site and the contractor was also waiting on the storm drains and manholes to show up. We swung by the site today and sure enough, there were manholes and pipes! Site looks pretty much the same as when Molly came [...]
I actually got a call today asking where the “Day 3″ update was! Nothing happened yesterday, so there was no update. I’ll update the blog as things move along.

Today is officially “Groundbreaking Day” for Biscardi Creative Media!!!! A truly monumental day in the history of this company and we make our third step in the evolution of our facilities. For those who don’t know, I started this company in a spare bedroom in the corner of our house. Then we [...]

The closing went smoothly this past Friday and we expect to start construction one week from Monday. It’s been about a 2 year journey from the time we first thought about moving [...]

Happy to report that the architect drawings are done and we’ll be getting our building permits in order this week. Still waiting on a closing date from the bank but everything is coming together nicely. Now for those of you out there thinking about building a new place or renovating a space, know that you [...]
Moving along in our new building process, the surveyor has done his work out on the site. Makes no sense to me whatsoever, just a bunch of orange ribbons attached to stakes and trees out there. Still waiting to see his drawing, but he’s satisfied with the land and our idea for the location of [...]
