22Dec

Well, 2023 is almost over. It has been a busy year, and an especially busy fall/winter thus far. We have been pushing hard on our latest build, in order to meet our goal of starting framing right after the new year. To accomplish that, we had to pour the slab before the holidays. 

It really took a team effort between many of the finest subcontractors that the Midlands has to offer... but we did it. In fact, yesterday was 'pour day'. We placed 84 yards of concrete, starting at 6 AM, and working the finish until approximately 11PM (due to the very cool weather). What a dedicated crew! We are extremely pleased with the quality of the job and the slow drying conditions... the Client will have a very good base on which we can build their dream home.

We are going to take the next week and spend some well earned time with family and friends. Happy Holidays to you all, and we'll see you in the New Year!
