Shaping up!

The building is taking shape!

Drive thru footings are down and the forms for the pillars are ready to go!

This is the first of many photos from this view point.  This will be the main entrance.  Can't wait to see this take shape. 

Must be miracle workers.

We have a hard working crew!  They went from an island to this in 5 days!

And then the following morning...

It will all go so fast now...yikes!



Mackinaw Island??

According to Wikipedia - Mackinac Island, an island in the straits. I think we may interpret this as an island on Straits Drive? Take a look and see what you think...

This is the same location as the photo in the last post.

This is the southeast corner of the building.

This is where the dumpster will be.



This is standing in the last lane of the drive thru. Check out the last post for a before pic.

Good news!  Yes there is!  The blocks have been delivered!

Got mud?

Yesterday afternoon I stopped by the site to see the progress and introduce myself to Darin, Gerace's Field Engineer.  Darin and his crew were busy getting the footings ready to be poured Wednesday morning.  When I was there the rebar was just being delivered and Darin said they were working as late as necessary to get ready for an 8am pour. 

Unfortunately, Mother Nature had other plans for the crew today. I stopped out about 11am this morning and they were mud from hard hat to boot. All the work they put in yesterday was washed away. So here is my heartfelt plea to Mother Nature for the muddy, frustrated crew working on our project... You have not wanted to send us rain much this summer - could you plesae hold off a few more days?
