Fire (Station) in the Hole

Posts Tagged ‘21st Rd.’

Last Monday, with all required permits in-hand, the W-T crew began construction of FS3. Let me repeat that for those of you in disbelief: W-T began constuction of FS3. Expected delivery is May 2011. First step was to lower parts of the site by two feet, which is what happened last week.

Shelter From The Storm + I Love Trash Mashup:

Last week the exposed concrete facade was painted pretty much bringing an end to the Koons Garage construction. A wood fence was constructed around the electric box on the Koons property and a new chain link fence was installed as railing at the Lee Hwy garage entrance. Chain link is a rather “interesting” material to use. You’d think steel tube railing would be preferred.

As far as the Koons Garage is concerned its all nickle and dime stuff now. I’ll post the garage constuction video whenever it goes into use and the bus stop shelter is installed for completeness.

Time to move on to Fire Station 3 construction ////////////////////////////

FS3 Site Tanned, Rested, and Ready:

Curb, gutter, sidewalk installation on the north portion of 21st Rd. started last week and the first section of sidewalk went in yesterday.  Below is a quick photo sequence of the work so far. Also, FYI, I uploaded the interior plans to the “Architectural Drawings” page.
