Jan 2025 Feb 2025 March 2025 Interior finishes going strong. Landscaping starting to take shape.

I haven't operated one, but climb the tower on every crane I have had erected. When the crane is moving with a load, you cannot even comprehend the amount of movement of the tower twisting back and forth as well as up and down. I'm sure they get use to it but its a bizarre feeling for sure.

It is very cool, exciting and amazing. The liability for these machines is crazy!

Fun with Cranes, disassembly. It takes an entire day to erect a mobile crane to disassemble this tower crane, and an additional crane to assemble the crane, plus the tower crane helping to assemble. Reshoring to support crane outriggers under the slab

Haha.....somedays I don't want my job. Honestly though, my previous position I oversaw 8 projects, all shitshows. So this has been like a vacation, just building the one.

November 2025 December 2025 Getting ready to disassemble the tower crane. 550 ton crane being assembled to disassemble the tower crane.

I really learned a lot about the whole bowling operation. There was a lot of history in this building ( 70 years). It was opened in 1958 as Totem Bowl, originally 16 lanes, it was expanded in the 70's to 32 lanes. This place was a full restaurant (Stocked commercial Kitchen), full bar, Video...

Its not that expensive in the overall project costs, I'm not impressed with a 20 year warranty. Its a very time consuming process to do one of these roofs.

Its not that great for the cost. Over a million$ for the roof with a 20 year no cost labor, and material warrenty.

September 2025 Roofing continuing, this is a multi layer roof. It takes forever. October 2025 Exterior Scaffold coming down in areas. Windows and siding installing in others as well as Brick.

I had a custom print done for some decoration in my vault. Also scored some new fancy seating off FB Marketplace. They ordered it wrong, wouldn't fit in their wine room, They where perfect for me.

July 2025 Roofing continuing, Scaffold erection, windows, doors, Siding install plumbing, electrical continuing August 2025 Roofing-All MEP's moving along.

My 2 cents. Contract, contract, contract! Contract should contain exact scope of work and should be aligned with drawings. Contract should contain Exact specifications of materials. Excavation, spell out depth of footing, footing drains, slab prep, rough grade, final grade, slope from...

I’m glad you enjoyed it!
