One Week and Counting

After walking through the building last night, it looks like the trades will have their work cut out for them in order to make the move in deadline. As long as they're confident, I'll start packing and eliminating some paper. There are many showcase areas to show off at this time, but some things are better off left for the grand opening in September. Here are a few teaser photos to hold everyone over until then.

 The glass silo is complete. The radius glass was a long lead item but it made it in time.

Here is the sidewalk along the front entry. You can see the landscaping is going in already in the planter boxes and the parking lot islands.

This popped up recently. A late addition to the plans called for some more storage in the form of a 80x152 building. Here is a view looking out of one of the overnight room windows.

My personal workspace which Steelcase calls a "workstation" rather than a "cubicle". It is quite nice and promotes an open office atmosphere which is the trend these days.

There are a few important features that need to be added yet but as you can see, the lobby is nearly complete.

 A view from the bridge in the silo looking over the main entrance off Dewitt Road.

Conference Room. Behind the large doors are the folding divider walls that separate the room into thirds.

This a view looking to the west out the conference room windows. It opens up to this patio which leads to the bridge, which leads to the walking path.

So we'll start moving in at the end of next week.........maybe..........yes we will.


Williams

I made a trip to Williams this week to take a look at the progress we're making there. Now that it's drying up a little, concrete has been poured and we're very close to completion on the current expansion..... with the exception of the new rail spurs.

I'm standing on the truck scale facing east in this photo. The concrete in front of me was all poured this spring. This will make snow removal and drive maintenence easy to manage.

This is taken from the service drive leading back to the site. Somehow people still have a hard time finding the site.

Here is the new containment with the steps ready to go. The small building in the distance to the left is the rail load out office. Now we just need some tanks installed. That will be a tall order (no pun intended) that we'll be doing sometime in late July/early August.

The interior of the new load out building. Right now it's a bit messy as the electricians finish up. Like the other sites, the load out office will be on an elevated platform between the load bays.

Thats all for now.
