Building Blocks

Building plans are in place, permits obtained, site visits made and structure orientation confirmed...we're off and running on our pavilion project. This one has taken a long time to get off the ground, but work is going quickly now that it's begun.

The slab foundation was poured after electrical and gas was in place. Then the block work began for the walls. When these are up, all block will be filled for solid walls, which will support the roof trusses and heavy barrel tile roofing materials.

Here's what it looks like in progress. The dust was flying as concrete block was cut.

Andy is doing a great job of getting this project up!

Some excavation has already happened where a pad for one of the pergola columns will go.

And our careful contractor, Al Albrecht, is keeping the work site as neat as possible, and keeping materials under cover to try to lessen the construction impact. This helps!

Our contractor has promised a mid-December completion date on this project, to be ready for a holiday party the client gives. His feet are to the fire, but I think he's up to it. This will go fast, so stand by!
