The Official 4th ToO Birthday Present Construction Thread

Yes, I know it's still two months away...

If there's something on your mind that just doesn't seem to fall into any of the other categories, well, it quite likely belongs inside Joe Finneman's marketplace. Think of it as a general store for general discussions!

Are you excited? Is this cool?

Yes! Yes!

Yes, the contractor is the man in the white helmet. (not the guy with the big feet ;) )

And. an. Update! We are getting lots done now that we've really started. There's a smiley with a sander sanding off the excess block on the right side.

As you can see, we've made a lot of progress. We've got scaffolding up and a crane to bring the blocks up to working level.

If you count the blocks, you'll notice that numbers aren't equal, and that the shift makes the numbers equal.

Alright! We've got a lot of progress! We're done with the blocks, and as you can see, we've hung some tarps and a skilled worker is spraying a white substance.
