Wow... another day of unbelievable progress...... all the window and doors are in, the new front door on the old building was put in as well.... roofers finished up, Tony is planning on getting the final electrical inspection on Wed. . John is planning on having the cedar shake siding started on Wed. as well...... Amazing!! And, rained early, but the sun has been out all day!

First Picture is El Capitan, Papa John.... heading up Coaster Construction, "supervising" from across the street..... another amazing day..... roofers finished the top part of the roof, and will finish the rest on Saturday. Rick's crew got the doors and windows put in..... next week, they start the siding.... Don Udell hooked up the 2 hose spigots..... Saturday, Tony (our son in law) starts to lay out the electrical, and the furnace guy comes to run the gas line for the fireplace in Maria's Office...... It seems that this job has become the "talk of the town"....... everyone that stops by is amazed at how quickly the building has gone up...... Thanks to all!

Today the guys got most of the roof done, Friday the roofers show up to finish. The windows and doors are still supposed to show up on Thursday........ Mike Philips just stopped by to make sure they could start the electrical on Monday..... my son in law Tony will be doing the work... Amazing, the pace that these guys are moving at...... first picture is the back, where the deck will go....2nd is the center inside high ceiling area.... stairs to the 2nd floor are in that room.... 3rd is the front of the shop.... Bird (Julie) in the front door.....

the guys finished up the stairs, so now Maria can go upstairs to see the view and get an idea of how the office and shop will lay out. I think we are going to have a glass of wine upstairs later today...... truss's show up on tuesday, roofers and window etc. on friday.... so , looks like another busy week. Rick and his crew are still kicking butt......

9 days from the start, and Rick's (pictured below) Crew has all the walls up, but not the stairs, so Maria can't go up to see the view yet...... but, they say they will be up by Monday........ We are finally getting an idea of what the store will look like..... lots of space for all my old boards, and a much bigger office space than we had imagined. Again, things went very well today, still ahead of schedule...... Next week, Tony should be able to start doing some of the electrical.....

The end of Day 9..... they put the 2nd floor on, and John and I went up to check out the view...... Spectacular!! I am almost afraid to keep saying what a great job Coaster and Rick's Framing crew is doing..... but hell, they are doing a fantastic job! John is making sure all the "parts " are being ordered in time to keep up with the framers..... a few minor changes were made, but all for the best..... Hopefully they will have the stairs in place on Friday, so Maria can go up and check out the view......

Amazing today..... RKC framers hit it first thing this morning, and just finished up..... they will start on the 2nd floor on Thursday..... they did get the main beam in place...... Great job for Coaster Construction and Rick's framing Crew!! Thanks!! Even Maria is amazed at how much they are getting done!

Coaster Construction is still ahead of schedule..... Ray Prom and his crew (under his supervision ???) poured the slab this morning. John Nelson says he will have the framing crew here Wed. morning, and is planning on working saturdays, in order to keep the schedule ahead...... Big thanks to John and Coaster Crew, and Ray Prom and his crew!!!!

Signage in front of the site..... today, they are prepping for the slab on Tuesday, start framing on Thursday.....

End of the first week, the stem walls were poured today, so Monday they get the place ready to pour the slab on tuesday...... Wed., the framers are ready, and we have already made some pretty neat changes to the inside of the building.... opening it up.....
