The long-awaited day has arrived: They began construction Wednesday! The celebration was dampered a bit when I found out they'd only be here one day to get started, then back to another job for another couple weeks. I'd hoped they'd at least get as far as where I could get other sub-contractors in, but it was not to be. So, I called the pertinent sub-contractors (I'm glad they aren't impertinent!), and gave them the update, mostly by voicemail, so I'm waiting to hear back from them as to their availability in three weeks-ish.

That went quick!! Driveway base and building excavation is already complete! Next step - hooking up temporary power after inspection of "the box" by L&I, and actual building should start in about three weeks! I can't seem to find any other punctuation besides exclamation points!!!
Wow, the excavator guy is efficient! And it's so fun to watch...I wonder if he'd let me drive that! So much progress in just two days... The plan is that tomorrow we will actually break ground on the construction of the new kennel facilities!! I'll keep a photo journal going as we make progress...the intention is to do this daily, assuming there are changes daily. The first phase includes widening the driveway and putting in a hammerhead turnaround for fire truck access, and excavation for the building site. In the meantime, we have taken the gate and business sign down. During construction access to the kennels will be via our private driveway which is the driveway you see before you get to the kennels. I'll get a temporary sign in as soon as I can. We've also begun prepping for temporary power, starting with planting the temporary power pole and dropping a couple trees that would be in the way of the overhead line. Here are some pictures of what things look like today... |
Carol BianchiI started a boarding facility in July of 2014. I'm so excited to be able to surround myself with dogs, I thought I would write about the process. Categories
