March 26, 2008 Site Meeting

The Houndstooth building is coming along at a good pace. The nice weather has definitely been a positive.

The block work has begun at the back left corner of the building if you are looking at the Houndstooth from University Blvd.

This is a shot of the bar area. The bar top will go on top of the block support.

This is a close up of the steel connections. They all look real good.

As you can see, all the steel structue is now in place.

Houndstooth Update

The slab has now been poured. The contractor will be cutting the expansion joints in the slab over the next several days. The concrete that you see is basically what the finished floor will be and look like. It is a colored concrete, it will be very durable with little maintenance. The next steps will include laying the block for the walls and putting up the structural steel. The fourth picture below shows one of the building footings that the steel will be bolted to. This is what will support the structure and roof system of the building. Scott, with K&A, says that the project is still a couple of weeks behind due to the dirt work and weather. However, Scott is confident that these two weeks will be made up over the course of the project.

The pictures below are from todays site meeting. the retaining wall has been completely poured. The first pictures shows the wall from the back property line all the way to the corner. The concreted subcontractors are currently adding a finish to all exposed surfaces of the wall in order to fill in the holes and give it an even look.

The next three pictures show the footings and first 2 to 3 rows of block for the building walls. Also, you can see that all the underslab plumbing has been roughed. The electrical contractor is on site at the time of the pictures working on the underslab electrical conduit. Once all the plumbing and electical is done, the slab floor will be poured. This should take place later this week.

Houndstooth Update

Pictures from February 20, 2008 site meeting.

As you can see, the footings have been dug and they are beginning to pour the concrete into the footings. The rebar adds strength and stability.
