We have a roof !

After the "Snow Storm"

Today they couldn't do much outside work due to the ice. The works continued inside.

You can notice one side of the copper roof already up.

Snowing in Alpharetta

Believe it or not - it is snowing in Alpharetta. (Usually happens once in 3 years)

This is a picture of the construction site as the snow began to fall.

Hopefully we can get some nice white pictures tomorrow if the snow keeps on falling.

The "Mock-Up"

Today the mason made a "mock-up" sample of the exterior walls of the building. Once the architect approves then they will begin to brick the building.

Time for some answers

On Friday we had a "meeting of the minds" to get answers for some of the questions that have come up during the last few weeks.

Count the Pickup trucks

This is the south so every one on the job site owns a pickup truck.

Black & White

All dressed in white

Today they are also dressing the side walls with TYVEC which is a plastic material to keep out water from the walls. This is a layer which goes on before the bricks.

All dressed in black

Today they are dressing the roof with black felt paper which goes on before the roof material to help keep out the water.

The Fire

The workers try to stay warm in the Georgia cold.

The walls go up - Video

Many have been asking for more videos. So here is a nice video of the outside walls going up.

Looking like a building now

The outside walls are all covered with plywood and ready for the brick. The roof plywood is being finished this week.

We are back

We were away for a few days and look how much is done!

Sorry for all you bloggers for having to miss the updates.
