A Busy Site

Earth moving equipment is back on site as more rough grading is done around the buildings. Being honest, this also could be a picture titled “Name Three Things Farmer Ben Would Love to Own!”

More and more vehicles are parked on site as various trades-people come in to do their work. This week we have plumbing, electrical, earth movign and carpentry hard at work. In the back you can see the roofing underlayment materials that have been installed in anticipation of the metal roof to be installed soon. It is a combination of roofing felt (for breathability) and the blue ice and water protection.

A view of the loading dock at the back fo the support space. The outer foundation is filled with packed gravel, to be covered with a slab of concrete. Note the piece of steel bolted along the wall to provide an engineered structural strength to the slab where it connects to the building.
