Title: Plywood Going Up On Steeple Market Walls
Post by: Henry on July 08, 2009, 02:50:21 PM
Beginning to shape up as plywood goes up on the walls - Not a great day to take pictures with all the rain falling, but Mike Cain may get one. Building looking much bigger as plywood goes on.

I know the illustration is only a reference and not intended to be 100% accurate, but I'm wondering why the steeple is set back a bit farther. Zoning? Powerlines? I'm not complaining, just curious... :)

It looks to me like they centered it over the entrance - I am no designer, but if you had it closer to the front and you sat in the parking lot looking at it, it just wouldn't balance out. My take.

The constructions seems to be going very slow. I don't hear any power nailers being used, everything seems to be hand nailed???

It could be because everything and everyone is being rained upon so it is a safety issue. Just guessing.

"Power nailers" are usually pneumatic off of electric air compressors. Very safe in rain with the proper cords and source.
Is there power near buy?

Andy Potter from WCAX is on his way to Steeple Market. He should be there at about 11:00am (approx !!!) to do a story on the rebuilding of the market.
If any of you want to head down, he may do an interview. Watch for the story on WCAX tonight at 6:00pm.

Looks like there was a temp power service being run across the road this morning. Can you say pneumatic nail guns.

Does anyone know the coordinates of where the t-bone steaks will be in the new market? I want to insure there is no confusion in aquiring them as soon as they are placed on the tray for sale..hehe

I'm planning on 8 steps inside the frontdoor, turn right 90 degrees, proceed 14 steps (not climbing the old alter), slide to the left, slide to the left and I'll be getting a NY Strip for myself and a Delmonico for my wife.
Either that or I could be in the new frozen food section.

I guess I should have ELABORATED more on my "Power Source near by comment".
I have a job going in an existing empty building space where we need to install a ceiling for a 2 hour fire rating.
It is about 90,000 sqft of ceiling we need to put up.
I doubled my sheet rock crew and my fire sprinkler crew on Wednesday. We started popping electrical breakers left and right.
I had to have a few "spider boxes" hard wired into an electrical service distribution panel at the main transformer outside of the building to handle the extra electrical load.
I by-passed the building's outlets and electrical system wiring so I could draw the required load.
When this warehouse is operational and under normal load they will not pull this much of a load so their breakers in their electrical panels will operate normally.
I wasn't being a wisenhammer!!!!!!
I hear Fairfax has flush toilets now! ( wisenhammer there)
