The Big Stuff is Happening

I still can't get the pix in the right order but screw it. Here's a bunch of crap on the roof including the machine to brush all the pebbles off. The piles are piles of 4" thick insulation, fiberboard and a mess of other material that somehow justifies the $85,000 roof job.


Oh...This may be why it's so expensive. This is the WHITE rubber membrane that is the final layer of the roof. The white roof makes it a GREEN roof because it is so energy efficient by reflecting the nasty heat away from the roof and putting much less stress on the AC, which is the biggest consumer of electricity during our long hot summers here in the Tundra.


More roofing material and frames for the new AC roof top units. Note the decorative used-car sales flags around the perimeter of the building. I wonder if the roof will double as a lot for the subs?

Looking out the new windows in Scheduling
Hoisting expensive roofing materials to the roof--very close to the skytop used car lot flags

They finally poured cement into those deep holed footings holding up the new beams
And here is looking UP at the new floor for accounting clerk office. This used to be the main front stairwell...gross!


Here's the guy enjoying his job on the Bobcat scooping up the bricks that were cut out of the front of the building for the new vestibule.

Like Open Heart surgery, The building has been split open. You can see where the atrium will be on floor 2 and how the glass tower will fit onto the building. The guy sitting on the left is making sure everything is done to perfection.
Another awesome view of the hole in the wall, and the plywood barriers put up on the second floor to keep the construction workers from falling through during construction.

Hey lookie, It's a fresh coat of paint! Starting to look like something real here!
These are the chunks of concrete slab that were cut out of the 2nd floor to make room for the stairwell in the vestibule.
And here is the hole, still being supported while the cement holding the new main I-Beam dries
And here it is again.
Here is but a fraction of the paint. Painting Party day after Thanksgiving. Surprise CaptionMax employees!!!
