Here are a couple photos showing more progress through Saturday, November 11th. One image is a view looking northwest, and it shows the old parking lot partially torn up with the nearby farm house (the original one from when this was a farm). The other one is looking west, with the stake in the foreground being the southeast corner of the new building. If the rain hold off tonight, they may finish grading the actual building pad portion of the site on Monday (Nov 13) . |
| January 24, 2007 The most recent snow is almost gone, and serious building construction is scheduled to begin next week. If all goes well: - The foundation and floors will begin next week and take about three weeks, weather permitting. - The pre-engineered steel building should deliver shortly after February 20th. - The underground utilities should go in by February 10th. - The building erection will start as soon as the steel is delivered and take a couple of months. As the erector closes in each section, the other trades will follow and do the finishing work. - Building dedication has been tentatively scheduled for early May, which is getting tight. The next eight weeks will determine our ability to meet that date. |

January 30, 2007 Work has begun, and I will be able to generate more interesting photos the rest of this week. Here is what we are doing this week and next: Yesterday NHPF's plumber started installing our 400 ft sewer connecting line, and next week he will probably shift over and rough in our water line. The County's contractor has resumed work on the parking lot, starting with the installation of the buried conduit and light poles. We are about to see some serious frost form in the ground this week, so their next steps, to final grade and then start laying rock, will depend on their ability to work with the conditions. The electric utility feed from the nearest power main should start installing this week, beginning with the underground conduit run, about 350 feet long. Our concrete contractor will begin pouring the footing this week. That will take about a week and one-half, and then they will pour the floor slabs. All of this is 'weather permitting,' although they can easily pour the footings so long as they keep them warm afterwards with insulated blankets. The pre-engineered building is still supposed to deliver in late February, and our plan is to have all of the concrete ready for the erector and a rock parking lot to stage materials. Kevin O'Meara |
