Things are happening here! We finally received both the planning department and building department approval. Thursday's will be on an "as needed" and as "space is available" basis for a while. So if you have an urgent or serious problem we'll try and make a Thursday work. I'll try and keep you posted as to the progress: Here is as it looked earlier this week, The Sportmobile garage is gone and we're ready to start:  Here things are "happening"  This is where we were as of yesterday morning:  Feel free to come on by and check out the progress! Thanks, Fred Explorer 1 |

Sweet! Looks like fun! It's supposed to rain tomorrow, so your odd shaped lap pool should fill up nicely!

All the foundation forms are made:  The next day the cement (that Magnificent mud) came and was pumped up from the street. The foundation is now in place:  Wednesday is planned for the slab to be poured, this will depend on if the under slab stainless steel pipe arrives for the lift!  Thanks, Fred |

Looks a real nice.... Shouldn't the shop be spelled "shoppe"? You wouldn't want people to think you just threw some boards together like a junky dog house. It's gonna look amazing! We should name it something fancy like we did the GRAND! El Shoppe, Super Shoppe, Der Shoppe, whatever.....

Quite a bit has happened since last post: The roof is done The scratch and brown coat of the stucco is on. All the trip work is done except the frees (sp?) board. Power, water and gas are in the building now. The basic electrical is installed. And now this week the brick are going in:    Thanks, Fred |
