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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
On Friday I was informed by the contractor that we have our building permits!! Woo hoo! That was the last piece of business required to get our bank loan. Yes, we had to get permits BEFORE we even own the land. That’s back assward if you ask me, but that’s how we had to do [...]
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 [...]
Had a great visit from Bram and Johan yesterday to calibrate my FSI monitors and during lunch Bram explained to me a calibration policy I didn’t know about. All owners of FSI monitors can have their monitors calibrated free of charge by just shipping them back to Flanders. The owner pays shipping both ways, the [...]
UPDATE DOWN BELOW. THE MACHINE ARRIVED! Yes, it has finally happened. We have made our very first official purchase for the new facility. A new monitor you ask? No. A RED camera? Would be nice, but no. Well surely a new control surface for Apple Color or DaVinci? Not exactly. Yeah, it’s a popcorn machine. [...]
