It has been a busy couple of weeks with the weather changing. You will be able to stay tuned and see the building go up in the next couple of weeks. There has been a lot of last minute things to get done as it is now frozen and the frost is starting to go down. It would be nice to have a few inches of snow to delay the frost.
The scale has been delivered and sets there in a big pile. Installation of the scale should happen in December or January.
This is the last pour of cement that was done. It is covered in blankets to keep it warm and toasty. It is south of the scales.
This is a view of the swale that will take care of all of the storm runoff and is valved to prevent fertilizer spill contaminations. Miller's will be putting down topsoil, straw, and grass seed yet this month. I am pretty sure the grass will wait for spring to come up.
The new sign has been installed. It will get a planter put around it once grade is finished up here.
This is a view from the front of the site. There is a lot of top dirt to go in yet here but it is very cleaned up and looking good. You can catch a vision for what the site will look like to drive up to if you can imagine the building and replace the white snow with green grass.
This wall is about 60 feet long and filled with electrical components. They are working right along to get electrical roughed in here. They have temporary 110V power hooked up and are beginning to get the power distribution panels in place. We have covered up the water line that comes in to keep it from freezing. Any cement grouting work that has to be done must be covered up going forward to keep the cement from freezing while it cures.
They have assembled 4 of the half trusses. They will be put together in halves and assembled complete before they are stood up. There is only 36 more half trusses to assemble. You can see the straw bales in the back and the tarps along the building covering up more cement that got poured late. The warm November was very helpful.
The area behind the building is about half covered with trusses and parts. I am sure glad we got all of the crushed cement hauled to the farm.
There are 9 pallets here of bolts and fastners. There is a lot of work to be done but Al still promises to have it standing and covered by Christmas.
