Oct. 14-25 Final stages of concrete / Beginning of framing / Hermreck Project

Here are some photos of the final stages of the concrete. As you can see, Jeromy the mason has gotten off to a great start on his block work. Also, Eric Wortz has arrived from Michigan and has started the framing. Everyone has showed great team effort in launching the project into the building phase. We would like to say thank you to P.C. Design Builders, Andy and Suzie Hermreck for the opportunity to be a part of this project. Hope you enjoy these photos.

Jeromy has gotten the columns up and they've started the pony walls for the floor system.

Couldn't resist another pic of the start of the floor system.

What a beautiful view.

Jackson looking for his carpenter bags, or better yet, a carpenters lunch :).

The end of the working day. Notice the color change? Beautiful.

Looks a little like Stonehedge doesn't it?

Jackson saying "Thanks for letting me be a part of the action".

Oct. 10-14 Foundation stemwalls / Hermreck Project

Well...the stem wall foundation process is coming to a close. This has been a great week, as everything turned out fantastic. Once again, we have a shout out to our great crew of guys. Thank you for all your expertise and hard work.And..once again we would like to thank Suzie and Andy for giving us all this opportunity. It has been a pleasure to do work with you.

Terry got some great photos this last week. Terry also put his technical skills to work by taking a video of the crew in action. I bet you all didn't know Terry was a video-photographer as well as a great contractor :).

The foundation has been poured and stripped.

The stem-walls are looking good.

Our crew taking a well deserved lunch break.

The hard work pays off. The foundation is looking good.

Here's Andy. He's not hard to spot. He's the one always smiling, even when his machine is broke down. What a guy!

Here's the street Terry and the crew have been living on these past few weeks.

Sept. 26-30 / The Building of the Stem Walls / Hermreck Project

Another week is done. The crew had a very productive and busy week. The stem wall process began and it all turned out fantastic!.

While the crew was busy building stem walls this week, along with working my day job, I was revamping our website at night. Our T&K Enterprises website was in dire need of an upgrade, so that's what it got. It has been updated and I'm pretty happy about it. To see our new and improved website click here: T&K Enterprises Inc.

The photos below were all taken this last week, as the crew worked diligently to complete the stem wall process.

The stem wall process begins. Look at the view from the job site. Wow!
