Meanwhile, back at the ranch….

All the Focker’s have been spending a lot of time hauling heavy things around (and around and around) in the hot sun while the construction project continues. Among the many exciting things that happened since we last tuned into the Focker channel:

Shack V 2.2 got a lovely Hansel & Gretel-style door:

Nibble nibble like a mouse, who is nibbling on my house?

Seriously. If there is a more ridiculous door on an industrial building out there somewhere? Send pictures!

Lately, we’ve been calling the construction site our “ivy covered cottage,” what with all its rebar picket fence and Hansel ‘n Gretel door.

But, hey.

Harrison Overhead Door gave us a great deal on an abandoned special order. If you’re in the business of giving people great deals, whadda ya gonna do? [insert shrug here]

There’s been too much Doc & Leroy running around in the hot sun/grade beam action to adequately illustrate here but we are now at the point where they’re ready to pour up the loading dock.

Mostly, it’s like going to work at the Grand Canyon every day. It doesn’t do to walk out any side or back door at Focker’s these days because every service exit heads off a cliff.

But, after all the months of planning and engineering and city meetings, it’s getting real now. Clearly closer to done. We’re getting itchy to go shopping and fill all the new spaces up.
