Hello! Well it has been a while since I've had time to blog...but WoW!! The project is really in motion now. We didn't get started the first week of January 2008 as hoped, the weather was not helping. We poured the foundation and drive-way pad around the 8th of February. The building contractor sub-contracted it out to a crew he had worked with before, and it all went very smoothly.
I was especially amazed by the amount of steel reenforcement they used in the pad. Check out the size of the trenches around the sides and down the middle of the whole thing!
It took several hours for the crew to get the surface finish and texture of the porch area (12'X40"), the way they wanted. The wife and I just waited and watched like expectant parents... We where told that now it would be a minimum of ten days before they could begin the erection of the metal structure...and it was at least that.. More on that later.
