With the Labor Day Holiday weekend upon us, but an absolutely gorgeous day outside, the construction crew decided to work on Saturday and take Monday off. The brick work was started and Joe managed to get his truck in a ditch….. The masonry team gets right to work on the bricks outside. Joe brought us [...]
Well isn’t this refreshing? I’m in a Beta Testing program and I can talk about it publicly. I can even talk to the other folks who are testing the software too. Sure wish a certain company that is all about phones and pads would get the message…… but I digress. BlackMagic Design has given me [...]
I’ll say one thing for my contractor Joe McCabe, the man wastes no time at all. Barely is the outside shell completed than his team is inside marking the floors and starting the framing. This was kind of neat for me, I’ve never been a part of a ground up construction before. On Monday, Joe [...]
We got the opportunity to play with a brand new Panasonic AG-HPX370 HD camera. This camera features the incredible AVC-Intra codec and the price is only around $10,000 with the lens! It’s essentially the baby brother of the Varicam, shooting on 1/3″ chips instead of 2/3″. Fujinon sent us a beautiful wide angle lens to [...]
After a fun day shooting out in a cornfield with old tractors, we stopped by the shop and found that the siding is done! Standing in the garage door opening looking across the building left to right, that’s the front door on the right. Roof is completed, siding is all in up in the front. [...]
I’ve said it before, but gotta say it again, just LOVE the team that’s working with me these days. It’s like a sports team, it’s all about chemistry. The three core members of the team just click and I hear laughter all day long in the shop. That’s a wonderful thing. We work [...]
Another two day update. The MBA crew continued with the siding and the roof on the building. We’re very closed to have a closed in building. AUGUST 23 You can see the back of the building is completely sided, the scaffolding in the foreground is for the workers to get up to put the roof [...]
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, [...]
