(click thumbnail to enlarge)

The excavator arrives Cutting the pavement Cutting wheel Just follow the dotted line The dump truck convoy begins Bye bye asphalt Debris brigade Place new building HERE OK - so we can't find this guy Concrete forms Dozers are cool Whew ! here's that guy So that's how they put those things in More forms Finished sewer cap Is that a rocket launcher And more forms The foundation begins to take shape View from the roof Hey - did that excavator shrink Things are starting to shape up Like any of these guys know how to use one of those Smoothing things out That is pretty square Just dig a little more - I know we'll find that key ring It's ELECTRIC! OK - stop when you get to the street I love the smell of steaming concrete in the morning Now that's what I call a LONG reach Smooth as silk On your mark, get set... Told you this had a reach OK guys... let him out If you flip the FAST switch this thing can really take off All you need is a good foundation Who let this guy write his initials in the cement Remove asphalt...apply asphalt And then overnight these things just grew! Steel taking shape Frame it up It's easy when you have a crane Roof panels in place Walls coming together Walls REALLY coming together Front of new building Rear corner Front corner - showroom Early stages of interior walls More interior stuff Good thing that insulation is up - it's minus 6 outside Inside of showroom Offices this way Things will look a lot better once the walls are in place Drywall in showroom Walls inside showroom Early stages of some offices Inside wall of service bays Inside of garage Glad you're not the one taping all those seams! Showroom starting to look better Front windows installed! Same front windows, different angle One of the overhead doors to the shop Service department drive through Seams sanded Now the walls actually look like walls The new facade - early stages Shop lights are hung Offices this way! Shop shaping up Technician's parts windows Let there be light! Front sign almost there Ceiling and floor tiles almost done Cashier's window Showroom lights and tiles Doors in Ronney's office Duane's solarium Parts counter Heater above service drive-in Service customers drop-off The coffee pot should go right here
