First, let me apologize for being unsociable.

I’ve added an “add this” bar to the end of each post so you can now easily  link, email, tweet, digg, or otherwise share any post to almost any “sociable media” platform around. If you want to link to the home page use the buttons to the right. Also if you want to quickly see any of the videos posted here click on the YouTube button on the right which will take you to the FSITH YouTube Channel.

Last week was a busy one. Not so much for the garage as 21st Rd., where crews started work on curb and gutters from Lee Hwy to approx where the mini-park will be developed. I’m going to hold off posting pics from that work for a day or so because there are a lot of them. Check back in a few days or link to the RSS feed and wait for notification.

Last Saturday most of the brick veneer work was finished. The only totally unfinished section left is a small section on the east side and a tiny part of the NE corner. There are also a few areas that have not been mortared yet.

Also, last week, the railing out side the Lee Hwy exit was painted beige to match the roof.

So with not too many to-do items left to check off on Koons garage construction and the FS3 site getting a chance to dry out with this great weather it seems a hand-off to Whiting-Turner shouldn’t be too far off now for sure. Anyway here’s a couple more garage construction pics from last week:

Time to glass the place up a bit, plus brick veneer work continues:

If it seems like the Koons Garage construction has slowed down a bit, apparently it has thanks to the frigid weather. According to a January 8 County construction update crews are hampered from working full tilt until temps get back up to 40º. Even still, work has been slogging along, especially the brick veneer work. Final county inspection is scheduled for end of the month.

Anyway here’s last week.
