Working towards Project Excellence Award

Today was beautiful & just wonderful working weather. We didn't have as many crews on site as we did last week due to the forecast calling for rain. The crew we can count on to work regardless of the weather is the plumbing crew.....And they were here bright & early. So early in fact the sun wasn't shining so bright yet. They are hoping to have a city inspection day after tomorrow. Next crew that came in was the HVAC crew. I call them HVAC, Mr Gibson calls them the mechanical crew. Either way, they were here and continued the flex line work. We got a surprise visit from the one and only Mr. Jason Byrd. Mr. Byrd is known for having the longest lasting erections. I have to admit their steel erection work is great. Good enough that he's a great team player when you are counting on making PROJECT EXCELLENCE. He later sent his crew out to come finish working on a window beam. Today we received the delivery of the roofing materials. That means the roofing crew will be here maybe as early as tomorrow. Our utility contractor came by with a semi & picked up their equipment. Woody treated me to a girlie girl afternoon at a great salon/spa while he went to the Parkway offices in Lewisville. So did it rain? No, it never rained at the job site. We did get a few sprinklings, but nothing that would delay work. The pictures from here on out get a little tricky because they are from inside and sometimes the work isn't at all visible. Take today for example, we had crews on site working, but the work they did is not the type of work that is visible for the most part. But their work is the type of work that if not done properly, per plan, and per Parkway quality expectations could cause big problems with the overall building. So that means Woody has to be look at all the progress before it gets covered up with plywood, sheetrock, concrete, etc. I'm happy to report that there is GREAT work going on here. (Pics: 1.
