Wow, what a year!

Well is had been quite some time since I updated the blog.  We had an incredibly busy year and things got completely away from me.

I will try to get the process updated as best I can over the next few days.  I have taken a few new pics and found some old ones, so the process should go a little smoother.

So where did we leave off?  Seems like it was with the concrete.

Once the floors were poured, we were able to start the framing, electrical, plumbing, insulation and such.

I have a few pics of each stage, but I wont bore you all with detail pics of the electrical, plumbing and such, just the high points.


Framing was first.  We had to divide the real warehouse from the front office bullpen area.  The big diving wall was first.

From there we roughed in Nita's office, and on the other side of the room the warehouse bathroom, executive bathroom and server room.

Over in the old printshop we built AJ's office, the kitchen and the 3rd bathroom in the patient area.  We found some additional surprises there, making replacing the entire front window a necessity.  On the up side, replacing 16 feet of single pane glass with a high quality double pane thermal window is a really good idea.

Kitchen framing.

 

After we got things framed, we fired up the spray foam kits and got the whole of the print shop sealed with 2" of high density foam.  With the foam deck on the new roof, we now have R90 in the ceilings.  Not bad at all.

 

Main building framing completed.  Both areas have been updated with heavy ceiling joists for storage areas.

Next: Lead, HVAC, and such.
