With the end of the cold and rain, Self-Storage construction is able to begin in earnest.   No longer do forklifts get stuck in the mud traveling between buildings.  No longer do footings collapse hours after being dug.

 

Short-term construction highlights:

• The block wall will be finished this week (except for a tiny section along Somersett Ridge Parkway to the very WEST of the storage property).

• In addition to the existing building crew, one more steel building erection crew will start working full-time by the end of this week.  Weather permitting, by the end of March, all the block walls will also have real buildings attached to them.

• The slab on which will sit the freestanding building (between the buildings attached to the block walls) should show up just in time towards the end of March.   This will allow the crews as they finish constructing the Buildings along the street, then slide right into the freestanding buildings in the middle of the project.

 

Ideally, weather permitting (we say that a lot around here), we should be able, in mid-March, to finish the dirt-work hooking up the last of the property drains to the city storm-drain system.   We should also be able to dig the last of the footings as well.   The storm-drain hook-up will likely necessitate one day of road flagging.   It will not involve any major closures, shutoffs, or inconveniences in that an open lane will be used for 2-way traffic for the 300 yards or so needed to drive around the construction zone for the day.   We will endeavor to give you ample notice to prepare for this inconvenience.

 Thank you all for your understanding during the construction of this project.  We will keep you updated as to what is happening.
