Absolutely. You need to begin construction ASAP after the bid is awarded. Boomer sometimes forgets what state he lives in and the political shenanigans that can be played with a project like this.Quote:

Steel erection is like 3-D paint by numbers. This is beam 2481 and it is a 24 x 55 (24 inches deep and weighing 55 pounds a foot) wide flange section needing a red flag (probably to connect a tag line) The 12-41 probably makes reference to a length.

"Note the large snatch block next to the port-o-lets" ... duly noted ... I think we always dream of seeing one.
Steel erection crew had a good week of tightening up and squaring the frame. they moved the crane to start on another section of the food service wing. This view is from the front corner of Buchanan Hall.

Rose Garden in the Summer time. All construction on Buchanan Hall completed. It looks very nice. I don't think the students living there realize how nice it is compared to what was there before.

Boy, isn't that always the case. I lived in the death trap that technically "stood" (using that term loosely) where the new buildings are. I would've loved to have had anything close to these.
