Slow but sure wins the race....??

It is now July 17,2012

We have the foundation in and it seems like slow progress, it was a month waiting for the cement to dry but we are ready now. We had to have the poles cut to hold the inner corner not held by the foundation wall. They are 3/16" steel 4X4's. There will be a 12X12"  3/4" base plate that will sit on the footings. A 3/16" plate will be welded to the corners for a good weld.

The crane arrives on July 26th to life the containers onto the foundation. The welder will be on hand to weld the corners to the container and do some of the cuts including taking 2 cuts out of the side of the library and the kitchen and to remove the end doors. I really wanted to keep them on the second floor but since they are on the outside of the container, they will interfere with the floor. Will have to find a use for them.

note, due to weather, the crane cancelled for the 26th and we are now scheduled for August 1. Keep your fingers crossed all. !!
