Leaving Lewisville, TX today. Going to stay the weekend in Oklahoma. Come Monday we can remain in OK, return back here, or move on to our next project. It all depends on contracts, agreements, and weather.
The new superintendent for this project has arrived. We look forward to a smooth transition from one superintendent to the other.
Progress has been on schedule. The project is expecting to proceed seamlessly.
Tomorrow our Director of Construction, Ted Young, will be on site to overlook the transition & make himself available to both superintendents and any subcontractors that may have questions.
You will need to turn down the sound as the equipment noise is very loud. The concrete sawcutting work is progressing. This includes the removal of the concrete debris. We are running on schedule. It is a very hot and humid day today. The electricians are working on getting us some temporary power. The plumber stopped by to check out the site. Plumbing crew will start in the morning. Brio Project Manager visited the job site today. He was checking to see if we were able to start and inspected progress made so far.
This is where we'll be working over the next few weeks. Thought the video would give a good overall view of what it looks like now. We'll video off and on while hear to mark our progress.
Yesterday, we went into the middle of Houston. This photo was taken by Woody from the 9th floor of the Westin Oaks Hotel at the Galleria. This is the view we had across the way. The traffic down below in front of the Galleria was nonstop bumper to bumper. When we left around midnight the traffic had not died down at all. As usual the Texas skies were beautiful. As much as we travel across the USA, neither of Woody or myself have ever been to Houston. Aside from the humidity, we've enjoyed our visit so far.
We arrived in Houston late yesterday evening. We decided to wait on unpacking at the RV Park today so that we could go to the Houston Code Offices.
Thank goodness for our GARMIN. It made it a breeze finding the offices where we were to pick up the plans and permits. It was an extremely busy place. As you would expect we were sent from one office to the next, until finally we were in the plan library. We were able to get the plans for the Brio Tuscan Grill approved by the City of Houston. After waiting and talking with a couple of different people, we were informed we can pick up the permit tomorrow.
