Construction Week 4

Tue Jan 30, 2007 12PM

The cleaning up and getting ready week!

So this week we are cleaning up the site, getting rid of all the debris left over from the demolition. There are a lot of little boards with nails in them, various pieces of insulation and detritus. You will get to see Maximum Matt again this week in the photos as we fill back in all those holes we had to dig to put in the foundation. You will also get to meet Alisha who will be working in the store when we open. She has been quietly behind the scenes for some time adn we are excited to have her with us!

We also have the materials being delivered this week, floor joists, boards and maybe even the roof joists. Our hurdles this week will be sealing the foundation, getting the building inspectors ok and back filling all of those holes. Once these things are accomplished we have "clearance to land" the actual building, starting on Monday.

So stick with us good people, we are on our way!

Sealing the foundation is a messy, sticky job. Look, Vitamin Water! It must be looking for a good home.

  Friday Morning we woke to snow. It didn't stop the insulation going up onto the foundation though.
