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 [...]
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 [...]
I keep saying that you need to make sure you have fun in your life. Well Rebecca and I surprised the entire team with lunch and a movie on Friday. Every Friday I take the team and whomever is in the office out to lunch. It’s just something I like to do and it’s fun [...]
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 [...]
